The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of video-game on swallowing function in patients with dysphagia through a randomized controlled trial and whether it has additional benefits in improving swallowing function and training compliance compared with conventional training methods. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • How effective is video-game based rehabilitation for dysphagia?

  • Whether video-game based has additional benefits in improving swallowing function and training compliance compared with conventional training methods Participants will be divided into two groups, with one group completing video game rehabilitation and one group completing conventional rehabilitation.
