Clinical Trial Summary

An intervention study on the effect of dietary guidance with focus on implementing recommended food texture, at the department of Eating and Swallowing difficulties, Region Midtjylland, Denmark. Energy- and protein intake, Weightloss, Bodymass composition, Fluid balance and Activities of Daily Living (ADL), will be measured by Bioimpedance spectroscopy, interviews and a questionnaire.


Clinical Trial Description

It is know that people with eating- and swallowing difficulties(known as dysphagia), is prone to weightloss due to insufficient energy- and protein intake, and a reduction in ADL. ADL will in this project have its focus on the eating situation. The projects research questions are: - Will dietary guidance with texture implementation increase energy intake in patients being examined on an outpatient basis for dysphagia, based on the Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) recommendation? - Can a dietetic guidance with texture implementation increase quality of life and ADL in patients with dysphagia? Recruitment and data collection will take place at Hammel Neurocenter, DK. Each patient will be included for eight weeks, after their first FEES examination. The participants will be randomized to control or intervention, and strata into three groups based on Fiberoptic Endoscopic Dysphagia Severity Scale (FEDSS) 1, 2-3 and 4. Within the eight weeks, participants have to show up three times to measurements, interviews and questionnaire, in addition to this, the intervention groups will have three follow-up phone meetings. ;
