Dysphagia, the medical term for swallowing difficulties, is caused by other health conditions involving the nervous system such as a stroke, brain injury, or dementia. It can manifest as difficulty swallowing specific foods or liquids or, an inability to swallow altogether. Such swallowing disorders may result in health concerns and social issues, ultimately adversely affecting a person's quality of life. The treatment approach varies based on the specific disorder, aiming to enhance muscle strength and coordination in the lips, tongue, cheeks, or throat as needed.
