Improving Diagnostic Standards in Dysphagia

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research is to understand the normal function of swallowing and respiratory muscles in order to establish normal parameters. This will allow us to compare normal physiology and function of swallowing and breathing muscles to people with a medical history that would put them at risk for a swallowing problem. Our goal is to identify the best tests that can be quickly and easily administered to accurately detect swallowing impairment in adults. Involvement is limited to a single 2-hour evaluation.

Clinical Trial Description

The purpose of this research is to understand the normal function of swallowing and respiratory muscles in order to establish normal parameters. It will take approximately 90-120 minutes to complete. During this examination, you will have respiratory testing, cough testing, lingual testing, voice testing, and will be asked to fill out some surveys. We will then complete the swallowing test that uses both a moving x-ray and a small camera will be inserted into the open passage of your nose to the back of your throat to watch your swallow and look at your vocal folds (voice box). This will allow us to compare normal physiology and function of swallowing and breathing muscles to people with a medical history that would put them at risk for a swallowing problem. Our goal is to identify the best tests that can be quickly and easily administered to accurately detect swallowing impairment in adults. Your involvement is limited to a single 2-hour evaluation. ;
