简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the impact of systematic simple swallowing training on swallowing function and quality of life in community-dwelling elderly individuals (≥60 year old) with swallowing disorders. It primarily aims to address two key aspects: 1) the prevalence of dysphagia among community-dwelling elderly individuals, and 2) the effects of systematic simple swallowing training on swallowing function and quality of life in community-dwelling elderly individuals with swallowing disorders. All participants are divided into 2 groups. The intervention group is required to undergo a continuous three-week (21 days) systematic simple swallowing training, with weekends off and training conducted only on weekdays. The training will be conducted two sessions per day, lasting 15-20 minutes each.
详细描述
The investigators have designed a simple and user-friendly swallowing rehabilitation training method called "systematic simple swallowing training" based on commonly used swallowing training techniques in the department of rehabilitation medicine and the prevalent pathological causes of swallowing disorders in the elderly. It has shown promising preliminary efficacy.

结局指标
主要结局
Gugging Swallowing Screen
时间窗: day 1 and day 21
The Gugging Swallowing Screen is used to assess dysphagia. The Screen consists of 10 items covering various aspects of swallowing, including oral and pharyngeal muscle function, oral sensation, tongue coordination, and more. The total scores range from 1 to 20, with lower scores indicating more severe dysphagia.
次要结局
- Time consumed in eating(day 1 and day 21)
- Eating Assessment Tool-10(day 1 and day 21)
- Swallowing-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire(day 1 and day 21)
- Bite force(day 1 and day 21)
- Masticatory ability(day 1 and day 21)
- Maximum tongue pressure(day 1 and day 21)
