“…Of the 10 studies included for analysis, two were published in 2010 ( 27 , 40 ), five between 2012 and 2018 ( 28 , 41–44 ), two in 2021 ( 45 , 46 ), and one in 2022 ( 47 ). In terms of research design, there were three case studies ( 28 , 41 , 46 ), two randomized controlled studies ( 42 , 45 ), four one-group pre/post studies ( 27 , 40 , 43 , 44 ), and one ABA-mixed method case series study ( 47 ). The studies were conducted in Korea ( 6 ), USA ( 2 ), Japan ( 1 ), and Russia ( 1 ) ( Table 3 ).…”

“…Singing interventions were also applied to swallowing disorders due to head and neck cancer (HNC) ( 45 ). Two studies included mixed diagnoses with participants diagnosed with either cancer and brain damage ( 46 ) or stroke and dementia ( 40 ). It is important to note that the location of a tumor can impair swallowing as can radiation from cancer treatments.…”

“…The ages of the participants in all 10 studies exceeded 50 years; three studies included participants aged 60 and above ( 43 , 44 , 46 ), and two studies had an average participant age of over 80 years ( 41 , 42 ). Of the 10 studies reviewed, six studies employed individual intervention ( 27 , 28 , 41 , 44–46 ), whereas four studies utilized group intervention ( 40 , 42–44 ). In terms of conducing sessions, seven studies involved music therapists ( 27 , 28 , 41–43 , 46 , 47 ), while three did not report facilitators ( 40 , 41 , 44 ).…”

ObjectivesPresbyphagia refers to age-related changes in the swallowing mechanism (e.g., reduced skeletal muscle strength that decreases bolus control). If left untreated, these changes can lead to dysphagia, which refers to impaired swallowing (e.g., coughing or choking when eating). Given that swallowing difficulties are common among older adults that they make up the fastest growing age group globally, the need for interventions to address presbyphagia is gaining urgency. To begin to address this need, we conducted a scoping review to analyze music therapy research aimed at enhancing swallowing function. The objective was to identify key intervention characteristics and propose clinical implications for treating presbyphagia using music therapy.MethodsThis review followed the methodological frameworks outlined by Arksey and O’Malley and Levac et al. and used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis for Scoping Reviews for analysis and reporting. Four electronic databases (i.e., ProQuest, PubMed, RISS, Web of Science) were searched for quantitative and qualitative studies in English or Korean that used music-based interventions to address swallowing function in older adults. Content analysis was conducted to identify and compare the main features of music interventions for swallowing difficulties among older adults.ResultsTen articles were identified and analyzed. It was found that three core components–respiration, vocalization, and singing–were employed to enhance swallowing function in populations with neurological impairments, dementia, or head and neck cancer. Notably, actions closely linked to swallowing function, such as laryngeal elevation and oral movements, were utilized therapeutically to speak or sing. Based on these characteristics, clinical implications are proposed to address presbyphagia.ConclusionSinging entails a systematic and focused incorporation of stepwise activities that can be used to address swallowing disorders. In this context, critical clinical implications that music therapists should consider when treating individuals with presbyphagia include warmup breathing, vocalizing targeting laryngeal control, and singing targeting oral motor control. This review can contribute to the expansion of music therapy with older adults and the advancement of music therapy techniques.

“…Singing-based interventions have been introduced to address dysphagia-related symptoms and consequences [10][11][12]. Since singing requires breathing, vocalization, and articulation with a high respiration volume and vocalization intensity [13] and also involves the same organs that are used during speaking and swallowing, singing-based exercises have the potential to improve swallowing-related functions.…”

Does Etiology Matter? Comparative Analysis of a Singing-Enhanced Swallowing Protocol for Patients with Neurological Impairment versus Head and Neck Cancer

et al. 2021

Swallowing difficulties are a common complaint among patients with a variety of diseases. To address these concerns, a singing-enhanced swallowing protocol was constructed, and its differential benefits for two patient populations were investigated. Two patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and two patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) participated in this study. Each patient participated in 30-min individual sessions of a singing-enhanced swallowing protocol two times per week for 12 weeks. Following the intervention, laryngeal diadochokinesis and quality-of-life measurements were found to be higher in all four patients. However, the Videofluoroscopic Dysphagia Scale showed this improvement was associated with different swallowing tasks for each patient group. In addition, the maximum phonation time decreased for patients with HNC, while it increased for patients with PD. The findings support the use of a singing-enhanced swallowing protocol for patients whose swallowing difficulties are due to neurological or structural impairment. In addition, the study results suggest that different intervention components should be considered depending on the etiology of the patient’s swallowing difficulties.
