Abstract:
Dysphagia is a common symptom in otolaryngologic diseases. For the treatment of oropharyngeal dysphagia, conservative treatment is primarily considered, including behavioral Interventions, modified diet, and facilitation. Behavioral interventions include posture change, swallowing maneuvers, and excise. If a patient is diagnosed with dysphagia caused by oropharyngeal motor dysfunction, behavioral interventions should be actively considered. When applying treatment, it is necessary to apply the treatment tailored to each patient based on the biomechanics of dysphagia through diagnostic evaluations rather than uniform behavioral interventions depending on the disease.
