Abstract：
Dysphagia is a common complication following traumatic brain injury (TBI), and it is related to an increased risk of malnutrition, pneumonia, and poor prognosis. In this article, we present a case of TBI with persistent dysphagia treated with focal muscle vibration. A 100 Hz and 50 Hz vibratory stimuli were applied over the suprahyoid muscles and tongue (30 min twice a day; five days a week; for a total of four weeks) in addition to the conventional therapy to quickly recover swallowing and avoid the possibility of permanent deficits. In conclusion, this case highlights a novel therapeutic approach for persistent dysphagia in TBI, which should be considered in the management of dysphagia.
摘要：
吞咽困难是创伤性脑损伤（TBI）后的常见并发症，这与营养不良的风险增加有关，肺炎,预后不良。在这篇文章中,我们介绍了1例TBI伴持续性吞咽困难的病例，用局灶性肌肉振动治疗。除了常规疗法外，还在舌骨上肌和舌头上施加了100Hz和50Hz的振动刺激（每天两次30分钟；每周五天；总共四周），以迅速恢复吞咽并避免永久性缺陷的可能性。总之,该病例突出了一种治疗TBI持续性吞咽困难的新方法，这应该在吞咽困难的管理中考虑。
