| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to improve the prognosis of the respiratory patients who received the pulmonary rehabilitation, we developed the efficient rehabilitation program focusing on dyspnea, dysphagia and dystussia. We developed the several methods to inhibit cough in patients with excessive cough. We also developed the methods to ameliorate dyspnea in respiratory patients with shortness of breathing. In addition, we developed the methods to restore the functioning cough in patients with aspiration pneumonia. Using the methods, we found the paradigm shift of pulmonary rehabilitation. Program in interstitial pneumonia is to recover swallowing function and inhibit cough reflex sensitivity. Program in COPD and aspiration pneumonia is to slow the functional decline “dementia → dysphagia → dystussia → atussia → silent aspiration.” Atussia is ultimate dysfunction of cough physiology, and aspiration with atussia is called silent aspiration, which leads to the development of aspiration pneumonia.
