Researchs: The swallowing rehabilitation of patients before treatment - after swallowing scores (Functional dysphagia scale) compares the results to the functional dysphagia scores after treatment is reduced, such as semi solid type yopeulre lower than the liquid the more fallen upon swallowing, swallowing ability scores showed improved results.
Conclusion: Currently a lot of studies about dysphagia associated with central nervous system disorders have been conducted, but dysphagia associated with head and neck cancer studies is incomplete.
