“…Swallowing is a neuroanatomical process composed of three stages: oral, oropharyngeal, and esophageal ( 10 , 11 ). Specific structures such as muscles, nerves, the tongue, salivary glands, epiglottis, vocal cords, larynx, and hyoid bone are involved in each stage ( 11 ). Difficulties can arise from either mechanical obstruction or impaired motor function along the pathway through which food and liquid travel.…”

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.

Introduction. Cleft lip and palate are complex congenital anomalies of the orofacial system of children. Feeding and swallowing problems occur with varying degrees in children with cleft lip and/or palate. Aim. The aim of this paper was to review the literature and available evidence regarding the types of eating and swallowing disorders that can be identified in children with cleft lip and/or palate, as well as a description and types of compensatory strategies and interventions to alleviate difficulties. Methods. Insight into the relevant literature was performed by specialized search engines on the internet and insight into the electronic database. Results. The extent of the cleft is related to the severity of eating and swallowing disorders, so the most common problems are decreased oral sensitivity, cough, choking, nasal regurgitation, difficulty in sucking, laryngotracheal aspiration due to inadequate airway protection during swallowing, which may result in pneumonia and lung damage. Feeding and swallowing difficulty is also a source of stress for parents. Conclusion. Choking, coughing, nasal regurgitation, laryngotracheal aspiration, excessive air intake can lead to dehydration, malnutrition, but also the need for alternative feeding methods Therefore, it is of great importance to identify the problems of feeding and swallowing in a timely manner, along with modifications of the feeding method.
