Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is assess whether the application of the premature oral motor intervention (PIOMI) combined with the Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program (NIDCAP), allows withdrawal of the external feeding device with guarantees of the patient's nutritional status, determining breastfeeding rates at hospital discharge and swallowing safety earlier than if only the care activity corresponding to the NIDCAP model is carried out, as well as the applicability of this standardised protocol in the neonatal intensive care unit of a tertiary hospital.
The goal of this study is to determine which position, maneuvers or combination thereof generates the highest pressure at the EGJ as assessed by high-resolution esophageal manometry and thus greater or more robust contraction of the diaphragm.
Nasogastric tube feeding (NGT) has been widely used in cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) patients with dysphagia but has a significant risk of complications. Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding (IOE) is an established enteral nutrition approach that can be used with comprehensive rehabilitation therapy. This study aims to explore the clinical effect of IOE vs. NGT on CSVD Patients with Dysphagia. Compared to NGT, IOE, as an enteral nutrition support mode, in CSVD Patients with Dysphagia who received comprehensive rehabilitation therapy, showed advantages in improvement in dysphagia, nutritional status, ADL, QOL, pneumonia, and adverse events, which should be considered as the preferred approach.
This is a prospective multicenter study with patients with delayed dysphagia after radiotherapy for NPC. Patients enrolled are randomly divided equally into the observation group and the control group. All patients receive conventional care, and the observation group received IOE while the control group received NGT for enteral nutrition support. Baseline information (demographics, medical history, etc.), nutritional status at admission and after treatment, depression, dysphagia, and quality of life (QOL) after treatment as well as adverse events are compared.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the impact of Myofascial Release Training on swallowing function and quality of life in community-dwelling elderly individuals (≥60 year old) with swallowing disorders. It primarily aims to address the effects of Myofascial Release Training on swallowing function and quality of life in community-dwelling elderly individuals with swallowing disorders. All participants are required to undergo a continuous three-week (21 days) Myofascial Release Training, with weekends off and training conducted only on weekdays. The training will be conducted two sessions per day, lasting 15-30 minutes each.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore Clinical Effect of Myofascial Release Therapy in Dysphagic Stroke Survivors. The main question it aims to answer is: • Can Myofascial Release Therapy improve swallowing function in Stroke Survivors? Patients will be randomly allocated into the control group or the experimental group, all under rehabilitation treatment, the experimental group will be given Myofascial Release Therapy. The study lasts 21 days for each patient. Researchers will compare the Functional Oral Intake Scale, Penetration-Aspiration Scale, Swallowing Quality of Life to see if the Myofascial Release Therapy can help improve the situation.
cricopharyngeal achalasia refers to incomplete or non-open functional opening of the cricopharyngeal muscle, and after repeated swallowing of food, it still cannot pass through the cricopharyngeal muscle, remaining in the epiglottic valley and the piriform fossa, and even regurgitated into the nasal cavity . Neurogenic diseases, myogenic diseases and head and neck tumors are the common causes. Patients with chronic underfeeding lead to malnutrition, reduced quality of life, affecting the outcome of the disease. At present, the treatment measures for cricopharyngeal achalasia at home and abroad include balloon dilation technique, surgical incision, botulinum toxin injection. The dilation of the balloon is easy to cause mucosal edema and damage. Local infection, massive hemorrhage, local nerve injury and other complications often occur in cricopharyngotomy. Botulinum toxin injection relieves muscle spasms and is now widely used to treat dystonia. Common injection localization methods include CT, ultrasound, electromyography and endoscopy. Ultrasound-guided injection is a new technique of visualization, simple and non-radiation injection guidance, which can observe the injection process and drug injection position in real time. Fixation with a balloon can further improve the accuracy of the injection. In this study, botulinum toxin was injected into the cricopharyngeal muscle by ultrasound combined with balloon.
The purpose of this study is to M.D. Validity of the Turkish version of the Anderson Dysphagia Inventory for the Turkish population, reliability, and cultural adaptation.
Oral cavity cancer (OCC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide, with tongue cancer being one of the most common subtypes. Patients with oral cancers can experience painful swallowing, swallowing difficulty (dysphagia), and associated weight loss long after surgery. Not only is dysphagia an independent predictor of quality of life (QoL) in cancer survivorship, it can also have a devastating impact on the health of patients resulting from complications such as pneumonia, malnutrition and feeding tube dependence. Emerging evidence suggests that patients undergoing surgery benefit from engaging with speech-language pathologists (SLPs) before problems arise, to learn swallow strategies that may become useful in their rehabilitation. This in turn has the potential to reduce complications and minimize the length of feeding tube dependency. This study will assess the feasibility of conducting a prospective clinical trial that would evaluate the effects on patient health, function and overall benefit of early and systematic SLP speech and swallowing intervention for head and neck cancer patients planned for curative surgical treatment. We will also assess long-term changes in select clinical and patient-reported outcomes comparing their status before, and one month after, treatment.
This research study is investigating whether completing breathing exercises before surgery helps heart transplant patients recover after surgery. Previous studies have shown that breathing exercises can improve breathing, cough, and swallow function in patients with other diseases/conditions. The current study will investigate the impact of a preoperative respiratory muscle strength training program on breathing and cough function, swallow function, patient-reported eating and swallowing fatigue, and health outcomes in individuals undergoing heart transplantation. Participants will: - undergo tests of breathing, cough, and swallow function - complete questionnaires about the treatment, their swallow function - complete breathing exercises daily
