Abstract
Objective: This study was performed to evaluate the effect of Dong-Si acupuncture therapy, on the stroke patients with dysphagia. Method: We studied three selected stroke patients with dysphagia who could follow instructions. The patients were treated with Dong-Si acupuncture (Jokch'eonkeum, Jokokeum) with Dong-Qi therapy for two weeks. We evaluated the effects by AHSA scale, VAS and MBI. Results & conclusion: Dysphagia was improved in all of three cases after treatment. But more clinical & scientific trials are expected to follow this study.
