Targeted Postoperative Exercises Significantly Accelerate Swallowing Recovery and Enhance Quality of Life After Thyroidectomy

A randomized controlled trial demonstrates that a 3-month standardized neck and orofacial rehabilitation program significantly improves swallowing-related quality of life and functional recovery in post-thyroidectomy patients, effectively addressing the high prevalence of non-neurogenic postoperative dysphagia.
