Swallowing and communication disorders are common in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). Both disorders are extremely variable and can have a major effect on health status and quality of life. This is why it is important to provide health care professionals who are working with persons with MS with tools to signal, assess, and treat swallowing and communication disorders. This synthesis gives an update on relevant and recent literature on swallowing and communication disorders, supplemented with current practice-based evidence. Studies on swallowing and communication disorders in MS are scarce: more and higher-quality research is needed. It should be emphasized that therapists need to focus on the patient's acquisition of skills to participate in daily life. This means that each patient requires an individual approach based on their own needs.
吞咽和交流障碍在多发性硬化症（MS）患者中很常见。这两种障碍极具变异性，会对健康状况和生活质量产生重大影响。这就是为何向为MS患者提供治疗的医护人员提供用于识别、评估和治疗吞咽及交流障碍的工具至关重要。本综述对有关吞咽和交流障碍的相关近期文献进行了更新，并补充了基于当前实践的证据。关于MS患者吞咽和交流障碍的研究较少：需要更多且质量更高的研究。应当强调的是，治疗师需要专注于患者获取参与日常生活的技能。这意味着每个患者都需要根据自身需求采取个性化方法。
