Description
Margarita Rugaitienė and five co-authors present a 2024 study of a combined treatment for swallowing trouble in older patients. The disorder makes it hard to move food and drink from mouth to gullet. It is common in older adults, above all those with nerve diseases, and it raises the risk of food entering the airway.
The study enrolled 64 patients aged sixty and older at a hospital in Kaunas, treated between 2021 and 2023. Care paired a changed diet with swallowing exercises and electric stimulation of the throat muscles through the skin. The team graded severity and airway risk before and after the short program.
