Abstract:

An appropriate animal model of dysphagia is important for research of the mechanism and treatment. Animal models of dysphagia mainly involve rodents, non-human primates and some other mammals, in which rats and mice are the most commonly used. The diseases mainly reproduced include stroke, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and oropharyngeal neuromuscular diseases, with dysphagia. The success of modeling mainly depends on the assessment of swallowing function, such as videofluoroscopic swallowing study and electrophysiological examination. No animal model can perfectly represent the clinical and pathological characteristics of dysphagia in humans now. With the development of targeted genetic modification and detection indicators, more reasonable dysphagia models would be reproduced.
