Filter by:This study is aimed to establish and identify the normal pattern of swallowing sounds and analyze swallowing sounds of different textured foods and viscous liquids in healthy subjects to provide clinical evidence to update dysphagia patients' food.
The purpose of this study is to test the reliability and validity of the Turkish Feeding/Swallowing Impact Survey among caregivers of pediatric patients with swallowing disorders.
Objective: To verify the effectiveness of chin-down posture maneuver in swallowing therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD).
The purpose of this trial is to design, implement and evaluate the effect of a nutritional intervention in patients with Oropharyngeal Dysphagia on body composition and oral intake of energy and protein.
Currently, there are no efficacious behavioral treatment approaches to address uncompensated aspiration, or aspiration without appropriate cough response, in Parkinson's disease (PD). This is of particular public health concern given that aspiration pneumonia is the leading cause of death in persons with PD. The overarching aim of the proposed study is to determine the efficacy of two distinct intensive rehabilitation paradigms, expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) and sensorimotor treatment for airway protection (smTAP), on airway protective clinical outcomes in persons with PD and dysphagia. The investigators anticipate the results will lead to reductions in the risks associated with airway protective deficits.
The aim of this research was to evaluate the lingual tonsil hypertrophy (LTH) grading of patients with dysphagia using videolaryngoscopy and determine the relation of LTH grades to sociodemographic factors and clinical symptoms.
The scientific interest of this study is to improve post-operative comfort in patients after thyroid surgery using simple, inexpensive techniques. The investigator expects that local applications of ice or cortisone aerosols will reduce swallowing discomfort and control post-operative pain (POP). The investigator hopes that local cryotherapy will decrease post-operative oedema (vasoconstriction) and the volume of liquid drained (action on the serous fluid at the site of the thyroidectomy).
Measurements of dysphagia severity are important when making management decisions and in the objective evaluation of swallowing impairments. The Sydney Swallow Questionnaire (SSQ) is a validated self-report inventory using a visual analogue scale. This questionnaire permits a quantitative, sensitive, specific, repeatable and easily responsive evaluation of dysphagia in different pathology. Opposed to largely used videofluoroscopy swallowing study and endoscopy examinations, the SSQ is noninvasive, less expensive, avoids radiation exposure and enables a readily available assessment. Validated French version is not yet available. In the first phase of the study the investigators will validated this translation in dysphagic patients and control. Secondly, the investigators will validate the SSQ in Neuromuscular patients.
The aim of this research was to develop a dysphagia screening measure and evaluate the prevalence of dysphagia and its clinical manifestation in different in age population groups.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a specific rehabilitation program with oral screen used in an elderly population with dysphagia can improve elderly's swallowing capacity.
