Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on electroacupuncture for the treatment of PSD published between the inception of these databases and March 19, 2025, were integrated. The treatment\u2019s effectiveness was evaluated using several outcome indicators, including the Video Fluoroscopic Swallow Study (VFSS) and the Water Swallowing Test (WST), which collectively assess swallowing function. Two independent reviewers performed risk of bias (ROB 2) evaluations, frequency of use for electroacupuncture parameter combinations through the R language (version 4.5.1), and data analysis using Review Manager (RevMan) version 5.4 and Stata SE 18.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This analysis encompassed a total of 30 RCTs that involved 2,290 patients.

Furthermore, applying waveforms with Ds-W might enhance the effectiveness of electroacupuncture for PSD. However, the higher risk of bias (ROB) in the included trials indicates that the quality of evidence for the outcomes of these assessments may be jeopardized. Thus, further high-quality clinical trials are urgently required to evaluate the efficacy and effectiveness of electroacupuncture parameters (waveforms) in the treatment of PSD, ultimately increasing the total level of evidence (PROSPERO registration number: CRD420251014881,\n                      <jats:uri>https:\/\/www.crd.york.ac.uk\/prospero\/<\/jats:uri>\n                      ).\n
