Repetitions are defined as the number of actions performed in one set of a specific exercise maneuver. For example, 10 lingual presses or 40 effortful swallows constitutes the number of repetitions of an action. Franzen T, Tibbling LI, Hägg MK.

Subgroup analysis based on participants’ characteristics found that TSE significantly increased ATS and PTS in healthy participants, and the heterogeneity was reduced. Further subgroup analysis based on age revealed a greater improvement on ATS in healthy older adults. We assumed that different baseline tongue strength may have different responses to the intervention. As mentioned, tongue strength declined with age. The mean baseline ATS of three studies involving healthy young people was 66.1 5, 66.3 6, and 53.0 kPa 24, respectively. However, the mean baseline ATS for studies involving healthy older adults ranged from 36.8 to 39.9 kPa 9– 11. Our meta-regression analysis also showed a nonsignificant trend for less treatment effect with higher baseline ATS. Therefore, we proposed that as tongue strength decreased with age, TSE may be more beneficial. Kang C, et al.

What are tongue-strengthening exercises?

Infections: A cough can remain even after other symptoms of a cold, throat infection or chest infection have gone. Oh JC. A pilot study of the head extension swallowing exercise: new method for strengthening swallowing-related muscle activity. Dysphagia. 2016;31(5):680–6.

A 2006 review examined two studies on tongue cleaning and bad breath and found that tongue scrapers and cleaners were more effective than toothbrushes in reducing the volatile sulfur compounds that cause breath odors.

Dysphagia. 2003;18:101–13. Uses the most advanced fat freezing technology to target a stubborn layer of fat by destroying fat cells on almost any area of the body, without damaging the surrounding tissue. Another term for this type of procedure is lipolysis. When it comes to the posterior one-third of the tongue and pharynx, the special visceral afferent fibers from both the superior laryngeal nerve (branch of the vagus nerve (CN X)) and the glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX) synapse with the inferior ganglion of the vagus nerve and the inferior ganglion of the glossopharyngeal nerve (also known as the petrosal ganglion). From the inferior ganglion, the postganglionic fibers exit and course towards the same spot as the chorda tympani (the nucleus of the solitary tract) after entering the brainstem at the rostral medulla oblongata.The fibers end within the rostral segment of the of anterior (ventral) solitary nucleus. The neurons of this nucleus send fibers that join the ipsilateral central tegmental tract, and then end within parvocellular division of the ventral posteromedial nucleus of the thalamus. The fibers exiting from the thalamus form central thalamic radiations, which pass through the posterior limb of the internal capsule. These fibers end within the primary gustatory cortical areas of the cerebral cortex, found within insulaand frontal operculum. Hägg M, Tibbling L. Effect of IQoro ® training on impaired postural control and oropharyngeal motor function in patients with dysphagia after stroke. Acta Otolaryngol. 2016;136(7):742–8.In some cases, there is no obvious cause. Some people have a very sensitive cough reflex which does not easily respond to treatment of accompanying conditions.
