Clinical Trial Summary

To investigate the impact of physical therapy intervention of dysphagia on preventing pneumonia in acute stroke patients


Clinical Trial Description

Seventy acute ischemic cerebrovascular stroke patients suffering from dysphagia were selected from the stroke unit in El-Kasr EL Ainy Hospital. Their ages ranged from 49 -65 years. Stroke dysphagia was diagnosed by a neurologist. Gugging swallowing screen and A2DS2 score was used to assess risk of developing pneumonia. Stroke associated pneumonia was diagnosed by: Recommended Diagnostic Criteria for Definite and Probable SAP in Patients Not Receiving Mechanical Ventilation Based on the CDC Criteria. The selected patients were randomly assigned into two equal groups control group (A) and study group (B). Control group (A) was treated by nasogastric tube and oral care. Study group (B) was treated as the control group in addition to a designed physical therapy program consisting of neuromuscular electrical stimulation in addition to exercises for oropharyngeal muscles. Assessment was done before treatment, at the middle and at the end of treatment for each patient. Treatment was conducted for five sessions per week for one month. ;
