Impact of masticatory training on masticatory function: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Statement Of Problem: Abnormal masticatory function has been reported to impact health, but evidence for the efficacy of training is inconsistent, and a systematic review is required.

Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the efficacy of training interventions to enhance masticatory function, including specific protocols and outcomes.

Material And Methods: Nine databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, CNKI, Wanfang, China Science and Technology Database, and China Biomedical Literature Database) were searched from inception to February 2025.

Risk Factors for Postoperative Dysphagia in Patients with Oral Cavity and Oropharyngeal Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

This study was aimed at determining the risk factors for postoperative dysphagia, a common complication, in patients with oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers. PubMed, Embase, Web of Science Core Collection, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, SinoMed, and Weipu were searched up to July 9, 2023, for cross-sectional, cohort, and case-control studies on postoperative dysphagia-associated factors in patients with oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers. Two researchers independently screened the articles.

The effect of breathing training on swallowing function in patients with neurogenic dysphagia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: This study aimed to systematically review various breathing training methods for patients with neurogenic dysphagia, and assess their clinical efficacy to improve swallowing function in individuals with neurological disorders such as stroke.

Methods: Relevant studies were retrieved from nine databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, CINAHL, CNKI, Wanfang, China Science and Technology Journal Database, and China Biomedical Literature Database). Articles included in the review were published from the date of establishment of each database up to January 2024.
