Summary
This study tested whether using a special tongue brush (Orabrush) can lower the chance of aspiration pneumonia (a lung infection from food or drink going the wrong way) and improve swallowing in people who had a stroke. About 252 stroke patients took part. Researchers measured pneumonia rates, swallowing ability, and tongue coating. The goal was to see if this simple oral care tool could help prevent serious complications.
