Abstrakt: Objective: This study aims to explore the effects of comprehensive swallowing intervention on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and dysphagia in stroke patients.
Methods: We performed a randomized controlled trial in stroke patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) complicated by dysphagia, divided into treatment group and control group. The treatment group underwent comprehensive swallowing intervention and received swallowing care for 4 weeks, while the control group received only swallowing care. Outcome measurements were obtained at baseline and after the 4-week intervention, evaluated by polysomnography (PSG), videoendoscopic swallowing study (VFSS) synchronized surface electromyography (sEMG), oropharyngeal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and swallowing assessment scales.
Results: Sixty patients with stroke (30 treatment and 30 control) were eligible to participate in this study. There were no significant differences in any assessment between two groups at baseline. After a 4-week intervention, compared with to control group, there was a significant decrease in the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and oxygen desaturation index (ODI), and increased mean and minimal oxygen saturation (SaO 2 ), amplitudes of suprahyoid muscle group (ASUPMG) and subhyoid muscle group (ASUBMG). Moreover, the posterior palatal distance (PPD), posterior lingual distance (PLD) and minimal cross-sectional area (MCSA) were obviously elevated in the treatment group. Additionally, the scores of Gugging swallowing screen (GUSS) and VFSS were significantly increased in the treatment group, compared to control group.
Conclusions: The comprehensive swallowing intervention had therapeutic effects on OSA and dysphagia after stroke, and the mechanism was related to enhancing oropharyngeal muscle strength and changing upper airway structure.
