Immediate effects of thermal tactile oral stimulation on swallowing-related prefrontal cortical activation in healthy adults

Masayuki Tazawa, 土屋 賢治, Maki Nagai, Hironori Arii et al.

Short summary

Thermal-tactile oral stimulation (TTOS) and tactile stimulation (TS) both increased swallow frequency in healthy adults, but only TS significantly shortened laryngeal elevation latency. TTOS, however, subjectively improved ease of swallowing more than TS.
