Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of fasting nasogastric administration of sesame oil combined with multi-frequency vibrational abdominal massage in stroke patients with constipation undergoing nasogastric feeding.
Methods A total of 50 stroke patients with nasogastric feeding were selected as study subjects and randomly divided into control group and study group, with 25 patients in each group. The control group received routine nursing care plus multi-frequency vibrational abdominal massage, while the study group received fasting nasogastric administration of 20 mL of sesame oil on the basis of the control group's treatment. After 15 days of intervention, the defecation conditions constipation clinical symptom score (CSS), stool consistency (Bristol stool scale), and stool volume were compared between the two groups.
Results After treatment, the CSS score in the study group was lower than that in the control group (6.52±2.52) versus (12.64±3.32), P < 0.05. The normal stool consistency (types Ⅳ and Ⅴ on the Bristol stool scale) in the study group was higher than that in the control group(76.0% versus 8.0%, P < 0.05). The stool volume in the study group was higher than that in the control group(303.00±93.79) g versus (196.40±60.27) g, P < 0.05. The total effective rate of defecation in the study group was 96.0%, which was higher than 32.0% in the control group(P < 0.05). The Patient Assessment of Constipation-Quality of Life (PAC-QOL) score in the study group was lower than that in the control group (40.07±5.67) versus (63.07±7.46), P < 0.05.
Conclusion Fasting nasogastric administration of sesame oil combined with multi-frequency vibrational abdominal massage can promote the recovery of intestinal function and improve constipation symptoms in stroke patients with nasogastric feeding.
