Systematic Assessment of Laryngopharyngeal Function in Patients With Neurodegenerative Diseases
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
This is a non-interventional observational study designed to systematically record the results of routine laryngeal examinations and specific characteristics of dysphagia in patients with neurodegenerative disorders. The results of a fiberoptic / flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) while performing a structured task protocol will be recorded. If available, laryngeal electromyography (EMG) results will also be recorded. In addition to the examination results, demographic and disease-specific data are collected, and two questionnaires, the Swallowing Disturbance Questionnaire for Parkinson's Disease (SDQ-PD) and the swallowing specific Quality Of Life Questionnaire (SWALQOL), are administered.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- laryngeal movement disorders — 1 day
occurrence of vocal fold motion impairment, paradoxical vocal fold motion, vocal fold fixation or involuntary irregular arytenoid cartilages movements when assessed with the task-protocol - dysphagia — 1 day
occurrence of dysphagic symptoms when assessed with the task-protocol
