Purpose : The goal of this study is to estimate the effect of SSP electrical stimulation applied to acupoints as conducted in oriental medicine on the swallowing function of patients with swallowing difficulties caused by stroke. Methods : Twenty-two hemiplegic stroke patients with swallowing difficulties were divided into an intervention-only group (Group Ⅰ; n=11) and an intervention-SSP electrical stimulation group (Group Ⅱ; n=11). Therapeutic intervention was performed on participants in the intervention-only group and the intervention-SSP electrical stimulation group, for 20 minutes per session, three times per week, for four weeks. In this study, SSP electrical stimulation to the acupoints（Cheondol, Yomch`on, Budol, Pungji, and Sanyinjian）of stroke patients with swallowing difficulties was applied, and to investigate the effects of SSP electrical stimulation, Clinical dysphagia scale (CDS) and ultrasonography assessment was used to measure pre and post-intervention scores. Results : In the clinical dysphagia scale assessment, the post- intervention score for group Ⅱ had significant enhancement unlike group Ⅰ. In the ultrasonography assessment, the hyolaryngeal movement in group Ⅱ showed significant increase in the swallowing function unlike group Ⅰ. Conclusion : From the above results, significant effects came from SSP electrical stimulation of 3㎐, biphasic wave, continuous current when applied to the acupoints as conducted in oriental medicine to improve the swallowing function of stroke patients.
