Abstract: Background: the absence or delay of the swallowing reflex is considered a significant sign of dysphagia. Therefore, the therapy traditionally applied to these cases consists in increasing the intra-oral input through cold touches (0 or 00 larynx mirror) on the inferior portion of the inferior third of the palatoglossus arch. Aim: to identify in healthy young individuals which oropharyngeal regions are more sensitive and which stimulus is more efficient in triggering the swallowing reflex. Methods: the swallowi… Show more

“…The results of this study showed that cryostimulation, a thermal-tactile technique, improved the oropharyngeal sensitivity, swallowing reaction, and premature escape of food in patients with dysphagia after stroke. These findings agree with published results that cryostimulation can increase local sensitivity and probably reduce the premature escape of food by decreasing the swallowing reaction time 10 11 .…”

“…Such tactile stimulation of the pharyngeal wall is commonly used in combination with cold stimulus during rehabilitation from dysphagia. Short touches of a cold laryngeal mirror on the lower third of the palatoglossal arch are used to increase the intra-oral input 10 11 . Cryostimulation, i.e., cooling or decreasing the temperature of the tissue for therapeutic purposes, has proven to be an efficient way of regulating the sensitivity of damaged areas, including those affected by neurological injuries 12 13 .…”

“…O objetivo da pesquisa realizada por Pereira et al (2008) foi identificar, em indivíduos jovens e sadios, quais regiões da orofaringe são mais sensíveis para desencadear o reflexo da deglutição e qual estímulo é mais eficiente. Desta forma, o reflexo da deglutição foi investigado a partir dos estímulos: espátula, espelho laríngeo gelado, espátula envolta em gaze com água gelada e espátula envolta em gaze umedecida congelada, tocando-se o arco palatoglosso em suas porções inferior e superior, as tonsilas palatinas, a base de língua e a úvula em 65 indivíduos jovens e sadios.…”

“…The purpose of the research presented by Pereira et al (2008) was to identify in healthy young individuals which oropharyngeal regions are more sensitive and which stimulus is more efficient in triggering the swallowing reflex. The swallowing reflex was analyzed based on the following stimuli: spatula, cold 00 larynx mirror, gauze embedded in cold water wrapped onto spatula and frozen moist gauze wrapped onto spatula, touching the palatoglossus arch in both its inferior and superior portions, the palatine tonsils, the base of the tongue and the uvula in 65 healthy young individuals.…”

“…The pharyngeal phase of swallowing is initiated when a food bolus (bolus) is moved from the oral cavity to the pharyngeal cavity 2 , and is initiated by a pharyngeal swallowing reflex, which is elicited unconsciously by stimulating receptive regions of the oropharynx such as soft palate and uvula (Fig. 1 ) 3 . The pharyngeal swallowing reflex is modulated by an input from the cerebral cortex and respiratory center and mediated in a reticular formation located in the brainstem 4 .…”
