The Effect of Swallowing Action Observation Therapy on Resting fMRI in Stroke Patients with Dysphagia

Table 6

The correlation between the change rate of regional brain index (mfALFF) and swallowing function score in stroke patients before and after treatment.

Brain area	-value	value	Significant
Temporal_Inf_R (60 -21 -30)	0.683	0.0205
Calcarine_L (-9 -87 6)	-0.4467	0.1684	ns
Thalamus_L (-6 -15 12)	0.4112	0.209	ns
Cerebellum_7b_L (-24 -75 -54)	-0.1597	0.6391	ns
Temporal_Inf_L (-33 -9 -45)	0.1228	0.7191	ns
Calcarine_L (-12 -87 9)	-0.299	0.3718	ns
Frontal_Mid_R (42 30 45)	0.1795	0.5974	ns

There was a correlation between the change rate of mfALFF and the change rate of swallowing function score; ns: there was no significant correlation between the change rate of mfALFF and the change rate of swallowing function score.
