Impact of Sensory Stimulation on Pharyngo-esophageal Swallowing Biomechanics in Adults with Dysphagia: A High-Resolution Manometry Study
(2020)Evidence supporting sensory stimulation of swallowing is based mostly on videofluoroscopy and provides little insight into changes to swallowing physiology. In this study, the impact of sensory stimulation on pharyngo-esophageal ... -
The influence of bias in randomized controlled trials on rehabilitation intervention effect estimates: what we have learned from meta-epidemiological studies.
(2023)This study aimed to synthesize evidence from studies that addressed the influence of bias domains in randomized controlled trials on rehabilitation intervention effect estimates and discuss how these findings can maximize ... -
Inter-rater Reliability of the Dysphagia Outcome and Severity Scale (DOSS): Effects of Clinical Experience, Audio-Recording and Training
(2017)The Dysphagia Outcome and Severity Scale (DOSS) is widely used to measure dysphagia severity based on videofluoroscopy (VFSS). This study investigated inter-rater reliability (IRR) of the DOSS. It also determined the effect ... -
Interventions for oropharyngeal dysphagia in acute and critical care: A protocol for a systematic review and meta analysis
(2019)Background: Oropharyngeal dysphagia or swallowing difficulties are common in acute care and critical care, affecting 47% of hospitalised frail elderly, 50% of acute stroke patients and approximately 62% of critically ... -
Interventions for oropharyngeal dysphagia in acute and critical care: A systematic review and meta analysis
(2020)Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of dysphagia interventions compared to standard care in improving oral intake and reducing aspiration for adults in acute and critical care. Methods: We searched electronic ... -
The Lived Experiences of Oropharyngeal Dysphagia in Adults Living with Fibromyalgia
(2024)Background: Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition which has recently been linked with eating, drinking and swallowing difficulties (dysphagia). However, to date, sample sizes within completed research are small and study ... -
