Abstract： Objective： To observe the curative effect of point application combined with swallowing function training in treating elderly post-stroke dysphagia. Methods：A total of 92 elderly patients with post-stroke dysphagia admitted to the Department of Geriatrics of Affiliated Hospital of Shaoxing University from January 2021 to December 2023 were selected and divided into the treatment group and the control group （46 cases each） according to the random number table method. After excluding 2 cases from the treatment group and 4 cases from the control group，44 cases in the treatment group and 42 cases in the control group finally completed the study. Both groups received conventional basic treatment. On this basis， the control group underwent swallowing function training， while the treatment group received additional point application therapy. After four weeks of treatment，the clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups. The changes in traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores， swallowing function [Kubota Water Swallowing Test （WST） grading， Standardized Swallowing Assessment （SSA）， Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Study （VFSS）]， and quality of life [Swallowing Quality of Life Questionnaire （SWAL-QOL） scores] were compared between the two groups before treatment and after four weeks of treatment. Results：The total effective rates of clinical efficacy in the treatment group and the control group were 90.91% （40/44）and 73.81%（31/42）， respectively， the difference being significant （P＜0.05）. After treatment，the scores of main symptoms，secondary symptoms，and total scores of traditional Chinese medicine syndromes （phlegm-stasis obstructing collaterals type） in both groups decreased compared with those before treatment （P＜0.05）， and the treatment group had lower scores of main symptoms， secondary symptoms， and total scores of traditional Chinese medicine syndromes than the control group （P＜0.05）. After treatment， the WST grading improved in both groups （P＜0.05）， and the treatment group showed better WST grading than the control group （P＜0.05）. After treatment， the SSA scores in both groups decreased compared with those before treatment （P＜0.05），while the VFSS scores increased compared with those before treatment （P＜0.05）. The treatment group had lower SSA scores （P＜0.05） and higher VFSS scores （P＜0.05） than the control group. After treatment， all domain scores and total scores of SWAL-QOL in both groups increased compared with those before treatment （P＜0.05）， and the treatment group had higher domain scores and total scores of SWAL-QOL than the control group （P＜0.05）. Conclusion： Point application combined with swallowing function training shows good efficacy in treating elderly post-stroke dysphagia， which helps alleviate clinical symptoms， improve swallowing function，and enhance quality of life.
