Effect of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Post-stroke Dysphagia: A Meta-analysis of Stimulation Frequenc...

Published in Dysphagia

Dysphagia is one of the most frequent sequelae of stroke. It can result in various complications such as malnutrition, dehydration, aspiration pneumonia, and poor rehabilitation outcomes. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been reported to improve dysphagia after a stroke; however, effective treatment protocols have not been es...

Effect of Spinal Sagittal Alignment in Sitting Posture on Swallowing Function in Healthy Adult Women: A Cross-Sectional ...

Published in Dysphagia

Swallowing function is both directly and indirectly related to postures, such as head and cervical angle and body position. However, the effects of different sitting postures on oropharyngeal swallowing have not been investigated. This study aimed to investigate whether the change in thoracolumbar alignment affected the oropharyngeal swallowing. A ...

Deep Learning for Automatic Hyoid Tracking in Videofluoroscopic Swallow Studies.

Published in Dysphagia

The hyoid bone excursion is one of the most important gauges of larynx elevation in swallowing, contributing to airway protection and bolus passage into the esophagus. However, the implications of various parameters of hyoid bone excursion, such as the horizontal or vertical displacement and velocity, remain elusive and raise the need for a tool pr...

Examining Health Conditions, Impairments, and Quality of Life for Pediatric Feeding Disorders.

Published in Dysphagia

By understanding health conditions, impairments, and impact on quality of life for pediatric feeding disorders, assessment and treatment approaches can target multiple levels of health-related domains that improve child health and well-being. The purpose of this study was to characterize medical diagnoses and feeding impairments for children with f...

Brain Activation Site of Laryngeal Elevation During Swallowing: An fMRI Study.

Published in Dysphagia

The object of this study is to investigate dysphagia caused by reduced laryngeal elevation in patients poststroke. The central mechanism of laryngeal elevation during swallowing was explored by comparing the brain activation area before and after treatment with that of healthy subjects. The treatment group included patients diagnosed with dysphagia...

Links Between Swallowing and Consciousness: A Narrative Review.

Published in Dysphagia

This literature review explores a wide range of themes addressing the links between swallowing and consciousness. Signs of consciousness are historically based on the principle of differentiating reflexive from volitional behaviors. We show that the sequencing of the components of swallowing falls on a continuum of voluntary to reflex behaviors and...

Clinical Predictors of Dysphagia Recovery After Stroke: A Systematic Review.

Published in Dysphagia

Oropharyngeal dysphagia is common post-stroke and can have serious consequences for patients. Understanding dysphagia recovery is critically important to inform prognostication and support patients and professionals with care planning. This systematic review was undertaken to identify clinical predictors of dysphagia recovery post-stroke. Online da...

Application of Ultrasonography in Neurogenic Dysphagia: A Systematic Review.

Published in Dysphagia

Swallowing disorders are common in neurological diseases, with dysphagia representing one of the most prevalent complications that may cause poor quality of life, reduce independence, and increase mortality. Rapid identification of dysphagia is necessary to reduce the risk of penetration and aspiration, and to early start rehabilitation protocols. ...
