Dysphagia can lead to malnutrition, aspiration pneumonia, and other conditions, which seriously affect the prognosis and quality of life of patients. Promoting the functional recovery of patients with dysphagia after stroke is one of the urgent clinical problems to be solved. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of acupoint massage in the treatment of dysphagia after stroke, and to provide evidence for the rehabilitation training program of dysphagia. Methods The clinical randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, China biomedical literature database (CBM) and, VIP database were searched by computer for the effect of acupoint massage as a rehabilitation intervention on dysphagia after stroke. The retrieval period is from January 2010 to November 26, 2021. Revman 5.3 software for meta-analysis. Results: A total of 13 RCTs were included in this study, with 1003 samples (500 in the intervention group and 503 in the control group). Meta-analysis showed that, compared with the control group, The improvement effective rate of water swallowing test in the head, face, and neck acupoint massage intervention group [OR = 3.71, 95%CI (2.54, 5.40), P < 0.001] was significantly increased, The standard swallowing assessment function scale score (SSA) [MD = -3.37, 95%CI (-5.20, -1.53), p = 0.0003] decreased significantly, and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion: Current evidence shows that head, face, and neck acupoint massage can effectively promote the swallowing function rehabilitation of post-stroke patients with dysphagia, and has a synergistic effect with other rehabilitation training. It is an effective rehabilitation training method for dysphagia intervention.
