目前的吞咽治疗策略包括通过感觉调节促进吞咽启动。虽然热触觉口腔刺激是治疗吞咽困难患者以改善吞咽运动的常用方法，但对其可能的机制知之甚少。本研究旨在研究口腔（舌）热刺激是否可以调节人类的皮质-咽神经运动通路。
Current strategies of swallowing therapy include facilitation of swallowing initiation by sensory modulation. Although thermal tactile oral stimulation is a common method to treat dysphagic patients to improve swallowing movement, little is known about the possible mechanisms. This study is aimed to investigate whether thermal oral (tongue) stimulation can modulate the cortico‐pharyngeal neural motor pathway in humans.
