Biomechanical Effects of EMST® on Swallowing Function in Parkinson's Disease

Conditions: Parkinson's Disease (PD), Dysphagia

Sex: All

Ages: 18 Years – N/A

Healthy volunteers: No

Phase: NA

Enrollment: 30

Sponsor: University Hospital Muenster

Location: University Hospital Münster, Department of Neurology Münster

Summary

The aim of this non-randomized intervention study is to investigate the detailed effects of a structured four-week EMST® training program on the biomechanics of swallowing function in dysphagic Parkinson's patients. A combination of fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) and pharyngeal high-resolution manometry (HRM) will be employed to comprehensively evaluate the neuromuscular changes in swallowing.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, * PD-related dysphagia as objectively diagnosed with FEES Exclusion Criteria: * severe dementia, not able to give consent * dysphagia related to other diagnoses
