Primary Objective: To find out the effect of Swallowing and Non-Swallowing Exercises on Dysphagia in Post-Operative Oral Cancer individuals.

Secondary Objective: To compare the effect of Swallowing and Non-Swallowing Exercises on Dysphagia on Quality of Life in Post-Operative Oral Cancer individuals.

Methods: The study was conducted in Krishna Hospital Karad where 66 participants with post-operative oral cancer were selected according to the inclusion criteria. Simple random sampling was used to allocate the subjects into Group A (n=33) (non-swallowing exercises) & Group B (n=33) (swallowing exercises). The subjects performed respective exercises for 5 weeks. Pre & post assessment was performed by the outcome measures.

Results: Using paired t test both the Groups demonstrated significant results with all the outcome measures MWST with p<0.0001, MDADI with p<0.0001 and FACT H&N with p<0.0001 respectively concluding extremely significant results. Unpaired t test analysis for MWST, MDADI & FACT H&N of group A showed extremely significant mean difference as compare to group B with p<0.0001.

Conclusion: This study concluded that both swallowing and non-swallowing exercises are beneficial for dysphagia in post-operative oral cancer individuals, but the Non-Swallowing Exercises were more effective.

Pharyngeal pressure generated by approximation of the base of tongue to the posterior pharyngeal wall (BOT-PPW approximation) is critical for efficient pharyngeal bolus passage and is a frequent goal of dysphagia management. This scoping review evaluated behavioral interventions available to improve BOT-PPW approximation. We searched MEDLINE, CINAHL, Ovid Emcare, Web of Science, SCOPUS, and ProQuest for studies that met the following criteria: (i) behavioral interventions targeting BOT-PPW approximation, which (ii) were assessed using BOT-PPW-specific outcome measures, and (iiia) performed over a period of time (Review Part 1) or (iiib) studied immediate effects (Review Part 2).

Clinical trials published in 2012 and the first six months of 2013 were reviewed. These involved either traditional dysphagia therapy, indirect methods not involving dysphagia therapy or a combination of direct and indirect methods. Of 27 studies, 7 were RCTs, 5 were controlled clinical trials and the remainder were uncontrolled case series.
