Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Dysphagia patients
This cohort consists of patients with dysphagia undergoing swallowing function assessments. Participants will undergo two types of assessments: ultrasonography and fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES), to evaluate key parameters of swallowing function.
ultrasound evaluation
Use high-frequency ultrasonography to assess the swallowing function in patients with dysphagia. The ultrasound examination focuses on visualization of the pharyngeal region to measure vocal cord movement, swallowing reflex, pharyngeal contraction, and the presence and location of pharyngeal residue.
Fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES)
FEES involves the use of a flexible endoscope inserted through the nasal passage to observe the pharyngeal phase of swallowing directly. This procedure allows for the real-time assessment of key aspects of swallowing, including vocal cord function, swallowing reflex, pharyngeal contraction, and the detection of aspiration or penetration.
