Abstract

The differences between the “Tong Guan Li Qiao” acupuncture therapy and the conventional and current other acupuncture methods for poststroke dysphagia are as follows: first, it adheres to the basic idea of “Xing Nao Kai Qiao” acupuncture therapy in selecting and combining acupoints, centers on the brain, and combines the dysphagia symptoms of the mouth, tongue, and throat-related orifices with the root cause of “brain”; second, there are strict and standard requirements in the acupuncture operation, that is, manipulation quantification. In addition to standardized twirling, lifting, and thrusting, the techniques of deep needling on the acupoints in the neck region, blood-letting puncturing at the posterior wall of the pharynx, and the needling sensation of “like a fishbone getting stuck in the throat” are all unique.
