Effect of Chin-down-plus-larynx-tightening maneuver on swallowing function after minimally invasive esophagectomy: A randomized controlled trail.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence of swallowing abnormality was high after minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) for esophageal cancer (EC). Few reports, however, focused on interventions for dysphagia after esophagectomy.

Aim

The purpose of this research was to estimate the effect of Chin-down-plus-larynx-tightening maneuver on swallowing function for patients receiving esophagectomy.

Method

This was a 2-arm, parallel-group, single-blind randomized clinical trial, performed in patients suffered from EC from November 2018 to January 2020. Patients were randomly assigned to the intervention group (IG) or the control group (CG). The participants in CG received routine care, and the IG received Chin-down-plus-larynx-tightening maneuver during feeding. The incidence of choking co
