Study Search
A literature search was conducted for studies published from 1970 to
July 2018 using the following databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of
Science, Scopus, and CINAHL. The search strategy contained three
constructs: brain injury, dysphagia, and rehabilitative interventions
used for patients with dysphagia; the final search strategy is shown in
Appendix A. Only studies published in the English language and in
peer-reviewed journals were included.
