Abstract

Background: Sensory dysfunctions are common symptoms associated with cerebrovascular stroke (CVS) that can have a significant impact on patient’s quality of life. Sensory deficits may include vision problems such as blurred vision or double vision, visual field cuts; hearing loss; numbness in the face or extremities; balance issues as dizziness, tingling sensations; pain; temperature sensitivity, and decreased sensitivity to touch.
Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of sensory stimulation techniques on selected (visual and tactile) responses among patients with cerebrovascular stroke.
Research design: Pretest posttest nonequivalent quasi-experimental design was utilized in the study.
Subjects: A non-probability purposive sample of 60 male and female adult patients with a confirmed diagnosis of cerebrovascular stroke was recruited. The sample was equally assigned randomly to study and control groups.
Setting: The study was conducted in stroke unit at Al Manial University Hospital affiliated to Cairo University.
Tools: Three tools were used to collect pertinent data as follows: a- Personal and Medical Data Form (PMDF); Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS); Western Neuro Sensory Stimulation Profile (WNSSP).
Results: More than half of study and control groups were males between 40 to 60 years old. The WNSSP visual and tactile subscale scores for the subjects in the study group improved after implementation of sensory stimulation techniques.
Conclusion: The implementation of sensory stimulation techniques is an effective strategy to improve visual and tactile responses among patients with CVS.
Recommendations: Sensory stimulation should be an integral part of the total management of patients with CVS. Further study should be conducted on larger probability sample at different geographical areas for generalization of the findings.
