Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disease that mainly damages motor function and affects multiple systems as the disease progresses. At present, clinical medical research has not completely overcome this disease, and patients cannot be cured. They can only receive drug treatment to alleviate their condition and pain. Dysphagia is a common and severe non-motor symptom, mainly caused by delayed muscle movement, decreased coordination, and delayed swallowing reflex in the throat, resulting in obstruction of food mass transmission. This symptom can easily lead to complications such as aspiration, aspiration pneumonia, malnutrition, etc., seriously reducing the quality of life and survival rate of patients. Timely treatment and rehabilitation management are necessary for this. This article will review the new progress in rehabilitation nursing for Parkinson's swallowing disorders, in order to provide reference for clinical practice.
