Brief Summary:
The aim of the study is to estimate the effect of chewing gum after anterior cervical fusion surgery on decreasing the severity of dysphagia in patients with mild-moderate dysphagia.
Detailed Description:
Postoperative dysphagia is the most common complication of anterior cervical fusion surgery. Previous studies showed that chewing gum helped to improve swallow frequency and latency. However, its short-term effect on alleviating dysphagia symptom after anterior cervical surgery is still unknown. A randomized, parallel controlled, superiority trial is performed in patients with postoperative mild-moderate dysphagia. Dysphagia severity will be assessed using dysphagia short questionnaire (DSQ) score in the chewing gum group and control group during 7 days after surgery, and the changes in DSQ score between two groups will be compared, to estimate the effect of chewing gum on alleviating dysphagia symptom.
