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 trial with stroke patients. Patient satisfaction, compliance, and cost-effectiveness were also evaluated. The outcome showed better swallowing and reduced risk of aspiration were achieved. This indicated the effectiveness of home-based balloon therapy. This novel approach enhances post-stroke dysphagia rehab, improves patients’ health, and reduces healthcare costs.
