Condition(s) studied

Dysphagia

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Clinical assessment tool

Clinical assessment tool: The Munich Swallowing Score (MUCSS) is a tool that evaluates saliva, liquid, and food swallowing abilities using two scales: one for saliva/secretions (MUCSS-S) and one for nutrition (MUCSS-N). It helps objectively assess swallowing function and track changes over time. It is an important outcome to consider the presence of a tracheostomy tube and the management of secretions in relation to nutritional methods.

Study summary

The Munich Swallowing Score (MUCSS) is a tool that evaluates saliva, liquid, and food swallowing abilities using two scales: one for saliva/secretions (MUCSS-S) and one for nutrition (MUCSS-N). It helps objectively assess swallowing function and track changes over time. Validating the MUCSS in Italian would aid in better managing neurogenic dysphagia patients.
