Dysphagia Clinical Trial
Official title:
Impact of Neck and Facial Exercises on Swallowing Function in Elderly Individuals: A Preliminary Self-control Study
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the impact of systematic simple swallowing training on swallowing function and quality of life in community-dwelling elderly individuals (≥60 year old) with swallowing disorders. It primarily aims to address two key aspects: 1) the prevalence of dysphagia among community-dwelling elderly individuals, and 2) the effects of systematic simple swallowing 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) systematic simple swallowing training, with weekends off and training conducted only on weekdays. The training will be conducted two sessions per day, lasting 15-30 minutes each.

Primary | Swallowing-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire | The Swallowing-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire (SWAL-QOL) is a validated tool used to assess the impact of swallowing difficulties on quality of life. It is a 44-item questionnaire designed to measure the physical, emotional, and social domains of swallowing-related quality of life.The higher final scores indicate the better life quality. The total score will be converted into a standard percentage | day 1 and day 21 | |
Secondary | Eating Assessment Tool-10 | Eating Assessment Tool-10 is a scale used to evaluate swallowing function problems, and is one of the commonly used tools for assessing the swallowing ability of elderly individuals. Eating Assessment Tool-10 stands for 'Eating Assessment Tool-10', and was developed by professional medical institutions in the United States with the aim of quickly assessing potential difficulties and problems during the process of swallowing.The Eating Assessment Tool-10 scale consists of 10 questions that cover different aspects of swallowing function. Each question has a rating score ranging from 0 to 4, indicating the severity of difficulty in swallowing, with 0 representing no problem and 4 representing severe difficulty. The higher the total score, the more severe the swallowing function problem. | day 1 and day 21 | |
Secondary | Time consumed in eating | We require participants to eat a lunch according to their daily intake and habits, and count the time consumed | day 1 and day 21 | |
Secondary | Standardized Swallowing Assessment | Standardized Swallowing Assessment is a standardized scale used to assess swallowing function, primarily targeting the evaluation of swallowing disorders. It typically includes various items such as oral, tongue, and pharyngeal muscle movements, swallowing coordination, and smoothness. The total scores rang from 18 to 42. A higher total score indicates better swallowing function. | day 1 and day 21 | |
Secondary | Water Swallow Test | The Water Swallow Test was recruited to assess swallowing function in patients at admission. Specifically, patients were instructed to sit and drink 30 ml of warm water. A 5-point scoring system is used as follows:
Point: Successful swallowing of water within 5 seconds without coughing. Points: Able to swallow the water once but taking more than 5 seconds or swallowing in two or more attempts without coughing. Points: Able to swallow the water once with coughing. Points: Able to swallow the water in two or more attempts with coughing. Points: Unable to swallow all of the water, frequent coughing. The higher points indicate the worse swallowing function |
