Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore Clinical Effect of Myofascial Release Therapy in Dysphagic Traumatic Brain injured Survivors. The main question it aims to answer is:

• Can Myofascial Release Therapy improve swallowing function in Traumatic Brain injured Survivors? Patients will be randomly allocated into the control group or the experimental group, all under rehabilitation treatment, the experimental group will be given Myofascial Release Therapy. The study lasts 21 days for each patient. Researchers will compare the Functional Oral Intake Scale, Penetration-Aspiration Scale, Swallowing Quality of Life to see if the Myofascial Release Therapy can help improve the situation.

Detailed Description

Myofascial release, also known as fascial release or fascial manipulation, is a physical therapy used to treat muscle and fascial tissue tension or pain. It involves applying appropriate pressure and stretching to release tight fascia and soft tissues, improving blood circulation, alleviating pain, and promoting rehabilitation.

Study Groups

Rehabilitation treatment+Myofascial Release Therapy

Study lasts 21 days for each patient. All patients are given rehabilitation treatment.The experimental group was given the Myofascial Release Therapy, five days a week, once a day, for 30-60 minutes each time.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Rehabilitation treatment

Intervention Type: BEHAVIORAL

This group is given rehabilitation treatment. The main intervention measures included: 1) non-invasive ventilator treatment, generally at least once every night and typically not exceeding continuous daily usage.; 2) attention to feeding and sleeping positions, with a recommended sleeping position of lateral recumbent and the head of the bed raised by 20-30°; 3) swallowing function training, such as tongue muscle stretching training, assisted anterior jaw protrusion training, lemon ice stimulation to the soft palate, pharyngeal wall, etc., generally 5 days per week, twice per day, 5-20 minutes each time; 4) pulmonary ultrashort wave therapy, generally at least 2-3 times a week, and not more than once a day; 5) physical therapy, such as intensive training for gross motor functions including lifting the head, turning over, sitting, crawling, standing, etc., generally 3-5 days per week, 1-2 times per day, 5-20 min each time.

Myofascial Release Therapy

Intervention Type: BEHAVIORAL

Myofascial release, also known as fascial release or fascial manipulation, is a physical therapy used to treat muscle and fascial tissue tension or pain. It involves applying appropriate pressure and stretching to release tight fascia and soft tissues, improving blood circulation, alleviating pain, and promoting rehabilitation. Myofascial release therapy is commonly used to treat muscle spasms, chronic pain, skeletal and joint issues, among others.
