Abstract
We outlined a randomized controlled trial assessing the effect of a novel swallowing rehabilitation balloon on post-stroke dysphagia in home-based care. Stroke often causes dysphagia, and standard rehabilitation methods have limitations, prompting the need for innovative interventions. Stroke-induced dysphagia is challenging as it requires improved interventions beyond current limitations. The effect of the swallowing balloon’s impact on aspiration efficiency was assessed in and risk of the tria...
