Despite electroacupuncture (EA) being widely used to treat dysphagia, its effectiveness and underlying mechanism of action have not been thoroughly examined. The aim of this study was to gather preliminary data on the efficacy of EA when used as an adjunct to a standardized but individually adjusted rehabilitation program for patients with post-stroke oropharyngeal dysphagia (PSOD) and to compare EA with adjunctive neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Forty-five patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to EA, NMES or control groups. All groups received traditional rehabilitation training for dysphagia. The EA and NMES group additionally received EA at bilateral\n                      <jats:italic>Jialianquan<\/jats:italic>\n                      and NMES of the suprahyoid muscle group, respectively. Before and 3\u2009weeks after treatment, the swallowing function of the patients was assessed by surface electromyography (sEMG), videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS), standardized swallowing assessment (SSA) and water swallow test (primary outcomes). Post hoc secondary outcome measures included the functional oral intake scale (FOIS), penetration-aspiration scale (PAS) and deglutition duration.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All outcome measures improved within each group.

Only deglutition duration for water and saliva was significantly improved in NMES versus control groups.
