Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Carbonated drinks are considered to promote swallowing movement due to stimulation by carbonic acid, and their use in the training of patients with dysphagia has been reported. In this study, we evaluated the swallowing dynamics and sustained effects on drinking a carbonated beverage using as a noninvasive method.The results of the study demonstrated that carbonated beverages improve swallowing movements by shortening the late pharyngeal phase of swallowing, and such effects last until 5 minutes after swallowing.
