Popis:	Objectives: To determine whether oral capsaicin troche supplementation with every meal upregulates the impairment of upper respiratory protective reflexes such as the swallowing reflex and the cough reflex. Design: Randomized, controlled study with recruitment through nursing homes. Setting: Sendai, Japan, from September 2002 through December 2003. Participants: Sixty-four participants in nursing homes with a mean age±standard deviation of 81.9±1.0 with stable physical status. Intervention: Participants were randomly assigned to the program for the supplementation of capsaicin trochisci or placebo trochisci before every meal for 4 weeks. Measurements: Assessment of individual latency time of the swallowing reflex (LTSR) and cough reflex sensitivity. Results: Before the commencement of this study, there were no significant baseline differences in multiple parameters between the intervention group and control group. LTSR in participants in the intervention group was significantly shorter than in the control group (P 6.0 seconds) compared with the low-risk group (baseline LTSR
