To systematically evaluated the clinical efficacy of kinesio taping on swallowing function of patients with stroke. Methods: A computerized search was performed to identify the literature in English or Chinese published from 1973 to December 2021. The English databases included the Cochrane Library, Wiley, Web of Science, Embase, MEDLINE. The Chinese databases included CNKI, Chongqing VIP and Wanfang Data. After retrieving the studies that meet the criteria, we screened and included the literature, extracted data, evaluated quality, and assessed risks. The results of meta-analysis were conducted by Stata12.0 software. Results: A total of 9 studies (560 patients) were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that based on conventional rehabilitation program, kinesio taping led to superior increasement to stroke patients with dysphagia in cure rate (RR=2.27, 95% CI (1.57, 3.3), P<0.001], and helped to improve swallowing function [SMD=1.05, 95% CI (0.61, 1.49), P<0.001] and quality of life [SMD=1.2, 95% CI (0.85, 1.55), P<0.001] in stroke patients with dysphagia. Conclusion: Very low to low level evidence suggests that the use of kinesio tape on the basis of conventional rehabilitation therapy can improve swallowing function and quality of life in patients after stroke, with better clinical efficacy.
