Results: A total of 21 articles with 2075 patients were included, including 1040 patients in the experimental group and 1035 patients in the control group. The Meta in this paper indicated that after electric stimulation rehabilitation treatment, the psychological function [OR = 16.57, 95% CI (14.99, 18.15), ρ< 0.00001], physical function [OR = 10.69, 95% CI (7.18, 14.21), ρ< 0.00001], social function [OR = 13.53, 95% CI (11.19, 15.86), P < 0.00001], quality of life [OR = 14.51, 95% CI (13.18, 15.84), ρ< 0.00001], and treatment effect [OR =2.80, 95% CI (2.17, 3.60), P < 0.00001] of patients with swallowing disorders after stroke all improved.
