Abstract Objective To investigate the effect of intradermal needle combined with transcranial magnetic stimulation in patients with dysphagia after stroke. Methods A total of 60 patients with poststroke swallowing dysfunction, admitted from the First Department of Acupuncture and Rehabilitation of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine from June 2020 to February 2021, were selected as the research subjects and divided into control group (20 cases), intradermal needle group (20 cases) and combined group (20 cases).The control group protocol was the basic treatment of stroke and swallowing training for 3 weeks, the endothelial needle group was treated with 3 weeks to the control group, and the combined group was treated with transscranial magnetic stimulation to the group for 3 weeks.The changes in the avada drinking water test (WST) and the modified swallowing capacity evaluation scale (MMASA)scores after 3 weeks of treatment in the three groups were compared. Results After treatment, the WST scores of the three groups were lower than those before the treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the WST score of the intradermal needle group was compared with the control group, and the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). After treatment, the WST score of the combined group was lower than that of the control group and the intradermal needle group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the MMASA scores of the three groups were higher than those of this group before treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the MMASA scores of the intradermal needle group and the combined group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the MMASA score of the combined group was higher than that of the intradermal needle group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Intradermal acupuncture is beneficial to the recovery of swallowing function after stroke, and combined with TRANSCranial magnetic stimulation is more effective.
