“…Activation of these receptors results in protective reflexes that serve to prevent aspiration [32]. Several studies specifically have examined whether or not carbonation may provide enhanced stimulation to the pharynx to better stimulate the swallow and protect the airway [16, 17, 19, 31, 33–36]. The outcome measures evaluated in studies examining the swallows of neurologically impaired adults using carbonated and non-carbonated liquids have included: the incidence of penetration and/or aspiration [16, 17, 31, 35], pharyngeal transit time [16, 31], pharyngeal residue [16], pooling [31, 35], laryngeal elevation [31] and scores on the Penetration-Aspiration Scale [15].…”

Background Aspiration of liquids is a serious complication of neurological impairments such as traumatic brain injury or stroke. Carbonated liquids have been examined as a possible alternative to thickened liquids to help reduce aspiration in cases of dysphagia in adults, but no published literature to the best of our knowledge has evaluated this technique in children. If carbonated liquids result in safer swallowing in children, they could provide a preferred alternative to thickened liquids. Objective This pilot study examined whether carbonated thin liquids (CARB) improved swallowing compared to noncarbonated thin liquids (NOCARB) for children with neurogenic dysphagia. Materials and methods Twenty-four children admitted to a level I trauma center for acute neurological injury/disease were evaluated via videofluoroscopic swallow studies. Four descriptive outcome measures were contrasted. Results CARB significantly decreased pooling (P=0.0006), laryngeal penetration/aspiration (P=0.0044) and Penetration-Aspiration Scale scores (P=0.0127) when compared to NOCARB. On average, CARB improved scores on the Penetration-Aspiration Scale by 3.7 points for participants who aspirated NOCARB. There was no significant difference in pharyngeal residue noted between CARB and NOCARB (P=0.0625). Conclusion These findings support the hypothesis that carbonated thin liquids may provide an alternative to thickened liquids for children with neurogenic dysphagia. Implications for future research and clinical practice are discussed.

“…These alterations result in visually and texturally unappealing products that frequently decrease intake (Germain et al 2006). The addition of pungent spices-black pepper (Rofes et al 2013), ginger (Krival and Bates 2012), and red pepper (Ebihara et al 2005)-to beverages improves the safety of swallowing in dysphagia patients by stimulating the swallowing center in the brain stem (Rofes et al 2014) and/ or increasing the protective cough reflex (Ebihara et al 2005).…”

Chemosensory Properties of Pungent Spices: Their Role in Altering Nutrient Intake

Background The general population is not compliant with national dietary recommendations for promoting health and reducing chronic disease risk. While rising obesity rates suggest that the majority of the population is overconsuming, many individuals affected with either acute or chronic diseases struggle to maintain adequate dietary intake and are at high nutritional risk. Flavor is the primary driver of food intake; however, disliked flavors are a major barrier to consumer adherence with dietary recommendations for both groups. Spices that contribute to chemical burn-such as black pepper, garlic, ginger, mustard, oregano, red pepper, and wasabi-alter food flavors. Purpose This paper explores the role of these pungent spices in altering nutrient intake across the lifespan. The role of chemical burn in manipulating dietary intake in both diseased and healthy populations is discussed. Application Implications for using pungent spices to enhance compliance with dietary manipulations are described. Proposed functions of pungent spices are maintaining, preserving, and enhancing flavor to offset the reductions in liking and palatability that are associated with dietary modifications and disease status.

“…The mechanism responsible for improving swallowing function is believed to be a result of the gingerol and shogaol components of ginger that act as a TRPV1 agonist (Abe et al., ; Hirata et al., ). Krival & Bates () measured differences in peak lingua‐palatal swallowing pressures, pressure durations, and pressure adjustments in response to two volumes of water and carbonation (in Schweppes_ Club Soda) and carbonation+gingerol (in Reed's Extra Ginger Brew) in 20 young adult women. The study showed that stimulus on lingua‐palatal swallowing pressure and rising and releasing lingua‐palatal pressure duration were greater for carbonation + gingerol and carbonation than for water.…”

Ginger, the rhizome of Zingiber officinale, which is used as a spice globally has a long history of medicinal use that stimulates investigators to assess its potential roles as an adjuvant therapy or alternative medicine in a range of diseases. Anti‐inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, and antiulcer effects of ginger have been proven in many scientific studies, and some of the ancient applications of ginger as a home remedy has been confirmed in human. In this review, we summarized the current evidence on the effects of ginger consumption on gastrointestinal disorders based on clinical trials. Our data indicate that divided lower daily dosage of 1500 mg ginger is beneficial for nausea relief. Because of limited number of studies on some other gastrointestinal disorders, the results may not be as much powered as to find significant results. Therefore, more extensive and well‐controlled human studies of ginger or its standard extracts are required to demonstrate its efficacy as a gastroprotective agent. Dose‐finding studies should be undertaken to accurately determine the effective dose and preparation of ginger in further clinical trials protocol.
