Medicine Effectiveness comparisons of different physicotherapeutics for Stroke patients with dysphagia: A protocol for systematic review and network meta-analysis

Review question / Objective: Stroke is characterized by high incidence rate, high disability rate and high mortality rate.Dysphagia is the most common complication of stroke.Patients with dysphagia after stroke mainly rely on different types of physical therapy.In this study, mesh meta-analysis was used to evaluate the efficacy and safety of different physiotherapy methods.Condition being studied: Stroke is an acute cerebrovascular disease.Its pathogenesis is mainly due to vascular obstruction or sudden rupture of cerebral blood vessels, resulting in blood unable to flow into the brain, mainly hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke.And,stroke has high incidence rate, high disability rate, high mortality rate and high recurrence rate.Dysphagia is a common disorders after stroke, with an incidence of 37% -78%.The patients with dysphagia after stroke have to eat hard, reduce their food intake and prolong their eating time, which will lead to the decline of body weight and malnutrition.At present, more and more attention has been paid to physical therapy.Physical therapy has the advantages of effectiveness, noninvasive, easy to operate, low price and little side effects.The currently used Physical treatment methods for Stroke patients with dysphagia include posture training, swallowing exercises, Ice stimulationoromotor stimulation, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and noninvasive brain stimulation and so on.
