The goal of this clinical trial is to explore Clinical Effect of Glossopharyngeal Nerve Block on Pharyngeal Dysphagia Induced by Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. The main question it aims to answer is:
• Can Glossopharyngeal Nerve Block improve dysphagia caused by gastroesophageal reflux symptoms on the basis of rehabilitation training? Participants will be randomly allocated into the control group or the experimental group, all under rehabilitation treatment, the experimental group will be given Glossopharyngeal Nerve Block once a day additionally. The study lasts 20 days for each participant. Researchers will compare the Rosenbek penetration-aspiration scale, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire, Pressure pain threshold, to see if the Glossopharyngeal Nerve Block can help improve the symptom.
Gastroesophageal reflux is a common digestive disorder characterized by the backflow of stomach contents and fluids into the esophagus.

| Rehabilitation therapy | Behavioral | Rehabilitation therapy includes Diet management: Avoiding consumption of irritant foods and beverages, such as spicy foods, caffeine, alcohol, and acidic foods. Controlling portion sizes and meal timing, and adopting smaller, more frequent meals. Lifestyle adjustments: Avoiding lying down or bending immediately after meals, maintaining a sitting or upright position for at least 2 hours. Adjusting sleeping positions by elevating the head of the bed to reduce nighttime acid reflux. Avoiding excessive exertion and managing stress levels. Rehabilitation training: Strengthening the control of esophageal and gastric muscles through rehabilitation exercises to improve the function of the gastroesophageal sphincter and prevent gastric fluid reflux. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| penetration-aspiration scale | This assessment evaluated the patient's swallowing of contrast medium and whether there was retention, penetration, and aspiration. It included multiple items, each with the corresponding criteria, Specifically, whether the swallowed material entered the airway, passed through or contacted the vocal cords, and whether the patient exhibited the corresponding ability to clear. The scores range between one to eight, with higher levels indicating more severe outcomes of aspiration. | day 1 and day 10 |

| Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire | The Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire is a commonly used questionnaire for assessing the symptoms and severity of gastroesophageal reflux disease. It was developed by gastrointestinal experts in Germany and consists of six questions that evaluate the frequency and severity of gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms. For each question, patients are required to select the answer that best corresponds to their situation. Different scores are assigned based on the chosen answers, and a total score is calculated at the end. The maximum score for the Test is 12 points, with a lower score indicating milder symptoms and a higher score indicating more severe symptoms. |

| Glossopharyngeal Nerve Block | Procedure | The patient lies supine without a pillow, turns the head to the contralateral side of the block, and at the midpoint of the line connecting the angle of the mandible with the mastoid process (the styloid process), the skin is disinfected, and a 22-gauge, 3.8 cm puncture needle is loaded onto a 5 mL syringe. The puncture needle is inserted perpendicularly to the skin surface at the styloid process, and advanced through the skin and subcutaneous tissue until it contacts the bone of the styloid process. The puncture needle is then retracted and advanced anteriorly beyond the styloid process by 0.5-1.0 cm. When no blood or cerebrospinal fluid is aspirated, the blocking drug can be injected [20 g/L lidocaine injection]. |
|
| Lidocaine Hydrochloride | Drug | When no blood or cerebrospinal fluid is aspirated, the blocking drug can be injected [20 g/L lidocaine injection]. once a day. 1 ml per time. |
|
| placebo injection | Behavioral | The patient lies supine without a pillow, turns the head to the contralateral side of the block, and at the midpoint of the line connecting the angle of the mandible with the mastoid process (the styloid process), the skin is disinfected, and a 22-gauge, 3.8 cm puncture needle is loaded onto a 5 mL syringe. 1 milliliter of normal saline will be used for injection. |
|
| day 1 and day 10 |
| Pressure pain threshold | Pressure is applied on the spinous processes of the fourth cervical vertebrae. Pressure will be uniformly increased, and patients are given the identical instruction, "let me know when the sensation of pressure becomes uncomfortable or painful". At this point, the pressure will be immediately released, and the plunger is retracted by the evaluator. And the pressure will be recorded | day 1 and day 10 |
