Some people may be completely unable to swallow or may have trouble swallowing liquids, foods, or saliva. Eating then becomes a challenge. Often, dysphagia makes it difficult to take in enough calories and fluids to nourish the body.

See Online Courses Search Senior Health How Is Dysphagia Treated? There are different treatments for various types of dysphagia. First, doctors and speech-language pathologists who test for and treat swallowing disorders use a variety of tests that allow them to look at the parts of the swallowing mechanism. One test, called a fiber optic laryngoscopy, allows the doctor to look down the throat with a lighted tube. Other tests, including video fluoroscopy, which takes videotapes of a patient swallowing, and ultrasound, which produces images of internal body organs, can painlessly take pictures of various stages of swallowing. Once the cause of the dysphagia is found, surgery or medication may help. If treating the cause of the dysphagia does not help, the doctor may have the patient see a speech-language pathologist who is trained in testing and treating swallowing disorders. The speech-language pathologist will test the person's ability to eat and drink and may teach the person new ways to swallow. Treatment may involve muscle exercises to strengthen weak facial muscles or to improve coordination. For others, treatment may involve learning to eat in a special way. For example, some people may have to eat with their head turned to one side or looking straight ahead. Preparing food in a certain way or avoiding certain foods may help other people. For instance, those who cannot swallow liquids may need to add special thickeners to their drinks. Other people may have to avoid hot or cold foods or drinks.

Extractions: Introduction Treatment Protocol Treatment of oral-pharyngeal swallowing impairment relies on accurate diagnosis. Thus any treatment protocol should be preceded by a thorough diagnostic evaluation by a qualified speech language pathologist. Specific exercises for the treatment of neurophysiological deficits have been described in the dysphagia literature(1,10,11). The scope of this protocol does not include an exhaustive description of dysphagic abnormalities and the associated treatment strategies of choice. It will encompass description of those treatment strategies that are appreciably enhanced by biofeedback monitoring. Using MyoDac 2TM / MyoCompTM The MyoComp System, as well as other computer assisted EMG Biofeedback Systems, allows for long-term storage of patient biographical, insurance and medical information on a separate diskette. This is accessed through the database mode on the main menu. In addition, a progress note section enables the therapist to store session information regarding the nature of treatment provided, the patients response to treatment, and other pertinent information. This information can be added to the diskette before or after a session through the monitoring mode on the main menu.

This research will also determine whether laryngeal elevation will open the upper esophageal sphincter to assist with entry of the bolus into the esophagus. This protocol includes studies in normal volunteers and patients with swallowing disorders. The outcome of this study will be relevant to future use of neuromuscular stimulation for laryngeal elevation in patients with pharyngeal dysphagia. Condition Deglutition Disorder

Extractions: Transplantation Dysphagia Dysphagia is a term that means "difficulty swallowing." It is the inability of food or liquids to pass easily from the mouth, into the throat, and down into the esophagus to the stomach during the process of swallowing. To understand dysphagia, we must first understand how we swallow. Food enters the pharynx (throat). A flap called the epiglottis closes off the passage to the windpipe so food cannot get into the lungs. The muscles in the throat relax. Food and liquid are quickly passed down the pharynx (throat) into the esophagus. The epiglottis opens again so we can breathe. (This phase starts under voluntary control, but then becomes an involuntary phase that we cannot consciously control.) Liquids fall through the esophagus into the stomach by gravity. Muscles in the esophagus push food toward the stomach in wave-like movements known as peristalsis. A muscular band between the end of the esophagus and the upper portion of the esophagus (known as the lower esophageal sphincter) relaxes in response to swallowing, allowing food and liquids to enter the stomach. (The events in this phase are involuntary.)

Extractions: Student Feedback The topic is organised in four modules of study which can be self paced, but might each take 2-3 weeks to complete. Each module contains three learning activities designed to support a single PBL case (Problem Based Learning). Each case evolves over a series of disclosures, with students determining the learning issues and researching them independently. Many resources for this research are available online, including key research articles. There are several recommended videos, but if these are not obtainable from a local university or library, alternate texts that will achieve a similar purpose can be suggested. There are no set texts but purchase of the CD-ROM, The Dynamic Swallow , is recommended for use in many of the learning activities. Numerous institutions in the UK and elsewhere have this resource, so it may be easy for students to borrow it. We have a very good student price, too (~ 70% discount).

Extractions: Palliation of Dysphagia of Esophageal Cancer by Endoscopic Lumen Restoration Techniques H. Worth Boyce, Jr, MD, FACP, MACG Proper management of dysphagia due to esophageal carcinoma should include palliative methods. Background: Cure of patients with esophageal cancer has remained rare over the past four decades. The overall five-year survival rate for squamous cell and adenocarcinoma of the esophagus currently is reported as 12% in whites and 8% in blacks. The five-year survival rate for localized disease at initial staging is only 26% for whites and 13% for blacks. With regional involvement, these rates are 11% and 7%, respectively. Results: Lumen restoration to relieve dysphagia and provide the opportunity for sustaining reasonable peroral nutrition is an essential element in the overall management. Nonsurgical lumen restoration procedures have much to offer for dysphagia palliation and are briefly reviewed in this presentation. The major options include ablation of intraluminal tumor mass by thermal laser, photodynamic laser, chemical ablation, peroral dilation, and placement of esophageal stents. Most patients require more than one palliative method to sustain lumen patency during the course of their disease.

Extractions: Dysphagia The authors enumerate oropharyngeal, esophageal, and structural causes of swallowing difficulty and outline a diagnostic approach, pointing out "red flags" and special considerations along the way. By Nasir Hussain, MD, and Bernard Karnath, MD Dr. Hussain and Dr. Karnath are assistant professors in the division of general internal medicine at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston What is the definition of dysphagia? The word dysphagia is derived from the Greek roots dys (with difficulty) and phagia (to eat) and is defined as the subjective sensation of having difficulty swallowing. The feeling of food being stuck in the throat or chest and difficulty initiating a swallow are some of the ways patients describe the feeling. These patients may have a change in voice or a globus or ball-like sensation in the hypopharynx; they may also experience difficulty masticating, coughing while eating, and weight loss and are susceptible to aspiration pneumonia. Odynophagia is pain on swallowing and may be associated with dysphagia.

March 16, 2004 Electrical Stimulation Aids Dysphagia see also:Â References cite as: by Ianessa Humbert and Christy L. Ludlow The use of electrical stimulation (ES) to aid dysphagia has gained increasing attention within clinical and research arenas of speech-language pathology. With recent advances in technology, the use of ES is becoming more widely available to speech-language pathologists and may be incorporated as a tool in dysphagia rehabilitation along with behavioral therapy in the future. Electrical stimulation is most effective when applied to an intact system of nerves and muscles in patients who have lost the central nervous system control of movement due to brain injury. When ES is applied to the nerve endings in the muscle or to nerves innervating the muscles to produce muscle contractions, it is referred to as neuromuscular stimulation. When ES is applied to the skin (surface stimulation), it will activate sensory fibers in the skin and only those muscles immediately below the skin surface, if enough intensity is applied. Most applications use electrodes inserted into the muscles (intramuscular) and an indwelling controller like a pacemaker to provide the stimulation either under patient or automatic control. Neuromuscular stimulation is used in rehabilitation of patients with spinal cord injury to control hand movements and bladder function, and is now being developed for sleep apnea and dysphagia (Grill et al., 2001).
