| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
he aim of this study is to confirm the morphological basis of the response in patients stimulated at the trigger point (K-point). It is said that the brain-damaged patients, including patients with pseudobulbar palsy were able to open their mouth and swallow after stimulation of the trigger point. The K-point lies on the mucosa lateral to the palatoglossal arch and medial to the prerygo-mandibular fold at the height of retromolar pad. Therefore we concluded that stimulating the trigger point was useful for opening the mouth and facilitating swallowing in pseudobulbar palsy patients. This technique may be helpful in these patients in terms of oral health care and feeding.
