What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Comprehensive rehabilitationBehavioural

    The study lasted 10d for each patient. During the treatment, All the participants were provided with the rehabilitation therapy, which included routine rehabilitation, cognitive training, swallowing function training.

  • Stellate ganglion blockProcedure or surgery

    Based on the invention above, the patients in the observation group were provided with Stellate ganglion block , using 1.5ml of 2% Lidocaine hydrochloride (1ml: 0.5mg) and 500ug of Vitamin B12 (1ml: 0.5g). The percutaneous approach via the paratracheal route was used for Stellate ganglion block . The operator stood on the side of the block, instructed the patient to lie supine with a thin pillow placed below the shoulders, and tilted the head 45° towards the blocked side, fully exposing the neck. Then, routine disinfection of the neck skin was performed. The puncture site was located 2.5 cm above the sternoclavicular joint and 1.5 cm lateral to the midline of the neck.

  • Lidocaine hydrochlorideDrug

    Based on the invention above, the patients in the observation group were provided with Stellate ganglion block , using 1.5ml of 2% Lidocaine hydrochloride (1ml: 0.5mg) and 500ug of Vitamin B12 (1ml: 0.5g). The percutaneous approach via the paratracheal route was used for Stellate ganglion block . The operator stood on the side of the block, instructed the patient to lie supine with a thin pillow placed below the shoulders, and tilted the head 45° towards the blocked side, fully exposing the neck. Then, routine disinfection of the neck skin was performed. The puncture site was located 2.5 cm above the sternoclavicular joint and 1.5 cm lateral to the midline of the neck.

  • Placebo injectionProcedure or surgery

    1 milliliter of normal saline will be used for injection. The percutaneous approach via the paratracheal route was used for Stellate ganglion block . The operator stood on the side of the block, instructed the patient to lie supine with a thin pillow placed below the shoulders, and tilted the head 45° towards the blocked side, fully exposing the neck. Then, routine disinfection of the neck skin was performed. The puncture site was located 2.5 cm above the sternoclavicular joint and 1.5 cm lateral to the midline of the neck.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Drooling amount

    All participants' saliva was collected within 5 minutes into a cup, followed by the comparison of saliva quantity, composition 1 hour before noon, the amount will be recorded.

    Measured: day 1 and day 10

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Modified Barthel Index

    the activities of daily living of patients will be assessed using the modified Barthel Index . The scale includes 10 items such as feeding, bathing, walking, dressing. Each item is rated on a 4-point scale based on the level of assistance required, with a total score of 100 points. There is a positive correlation between activities of daily living and the final score.

    Measured: day 1 and day 10

  2. Patient Health Questionnaire-9

    Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) is a commonly used depression screening tool consisting of 9 items, designed to assess the severity of individual depressive symptoms. Each item is rated from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day) based on how the individual has been feeling over the past two weeks.

    The total score ranges from 0 to 27, and the severity of depressive symptoms is assessed as follows:

    0-4: Minimal depression 5-9: Mild depression 10-14: Moderate depression 15-19: Moderately severe depression 20 and above: Severe depression When assessing the severity of depressive symptoms, a higher total score indicates more severe symptoms, while a lower total score indicates milder symptoms.

    Measured: day 1 and day 10
