Abstract： Objective： To observe the rehabilitation effect of the therapy of acupuncture and moxibustion combined with swallowing training on patients with dysphagia after stroke. Methods：A total of 90 patients with dysphagia after stroke were divided into the control group and the treatment group，with 45 cases in each group. The control group received swallowing training， and the treatment group additionally received acupuncture and moxibustion based on the treatment of the control group. After 4 weeks of treatment， the clinical effects， scores of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome， National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and Standardized Swallowing Assessment (SSA)，and the levels of plasma nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in both groups were evaluated. Results：The total effective rate was 95.56% in the treatment group and 80.00% in the control group，the difference being significant (P＜0.05). Before treatment，there was no significant difference in the comparison of the TCM syndrome scores between the two groups (P＞0.05)；after treatment，the TCM syndrome scores in both groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment (P＜0.05)， and the TCM syndrome score in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group (P＜0.05). Before treatment，there was no significant difference being found in the comparison of scores of NIHSS and SSA between the two groups (P＞0.05)； after treatment， the NIHSS and SSA scores in both groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment (P＜0.05)，and the NIHSS and SSA scores in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group (P＜0.05). Before treatment，there was no significant difference being found in the comparison of levels of plasma NO and SOD between the two groups (P＞0.05)；after treatment， the levels of plasma NO in both groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment (P＜0.05)，and the SOD level was increased (P＜0.05). The improvement of levels of plasma NO and SOD in the treatment group was more significant than that in the control group (P＜0.05). Conclusion： The therapy of acupuncture and moxibustion combined with swallowing training has a good effect on the treatment of dysphagia after stroke，which can effectively regulate the levels of NO and SOD in plasma， and significantly improve the nerve function and swallowing function of patients.
