Acupuncture for Post-Stroke Dysphagia: A Clinical Study
Sponsor: First Teaching Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Summary
Employing a nested design, a partially randomized preference study (Study II) is embedded within a prospective, multicenter cohort study (Study I). The cohort study, with acupuncture as the exposure factor, explores the clinical efficacy and health economic value of different integrated Chinese and Western medicine treatment protocols. The nested partially randomized preference study of different acupuncture protocols generates high-level evidence through randomized cohorts while supplementing real-world decision-making with preference cohort data.
