Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary equipment, in particular to a pharyngeal stimulation device. Background Art

[0002] Swallowing disorder is one of the common complications of stroke. At present, clinically, the sensitivity of the soft palate and pharynx is improved by stimulating the pharynx with an ice cotton swab, thereby improving the patient's attention to food intake and swallowing; cold stimulation can also increase sensory input, excite the neurons in the conduction pathway, regenerate neuronal axons, rebuild the neural function network, and promote the recovery of swallowing function. Ice stimulation can also activate the neural function in reserve or dormant state, regulate the excitability of nerves and the coordination of swallowing muscles, which is beneficial to improve the sensitivity of the pharyngeal reflex area, prevent the occurrence of choking, trigger the occurrence of swallowing movements, promote the recovery of the swallowing reflex arc, and improve the swallowing function.
