MedXY Editorial TeamOct 23, 2025

Postoperative rehabilitation aims to restore these functions, yet evidence regarding the long-term efficacy of such interventions remains limited. The referenced study by Lin et al. (2025) critically evaluates the impact of an oral rehabilitation program on oral diadochokinetic (DDK), tongue pressure, and mouth opening in male patients with and without tongue cancer over a 6-month period.
