(1) Swallowing disorders are common following a stroke. This study aims to evaluate the effects of a home-based daily intervention focused on inspiratory and expiratory muscle training on swallowing outcomes in patients with chronic stroke. (2) This manuscript presents the protocol of a single-blind randomized clinical trial. Patients with chronic stroke will be randomly assigned to either an experimental or a control group. The experimental group will undergo daily home-based respiratory muscle training in addition to standard speech and language therapy, while the control group will receive only the standard intervention. The main outcome measures will include the aspiration risk, the strength of respiratory muscles, and peak cough flow. (3) It is hypothesized that patients receiving home-based respiratory training in addition to standard therapy will achieve significant improvements in aspiration risk, respiratory muscle strength, and cough efficacy in comparison with those included in the control group. The results will be published as a manuscript. (4) This study aims to provide evidence on the effectiveness of home-based respiratory muscle training in enhancing swallowing function and respiratory parameters in patients with chronic stroke.
(1) 吞咽障碍在中风后很常见。本研究旨在评估以吸气和呼气肌肉训练为重点的居家日常干预对慢性中风患者吞咽结果的影响。(2) 本手稿介绍了一项单盲随机临床试验的方案。慢性中风患者将被随机分配到实验组或对照组。实验组除接受标准的言语和语言治疗外，还将进行每日居家呼吸肌训练，而对照组仅接受标准干预。主要结局指标将包括误吸风险、呼吸肌力量和咳嗽峰值流量。(3) 假设除标准治疗外接受居家呼吸训练的患者与对照组患者相比，在误吸风险、呼吸肌力量和咳嗽效能方面将取得显著改善。研究结果将作为一篇手稿发表。(4) 本研究旨在为居家呼吸肌训练对增强慢性中风患者吞咽功能和呼吸参数的有效性提供证据。
