Trial ID
NCT06695455
Official Title
The Effect of an Auditory Rhythmic Cue on the Frequency of Rolling in Patients with Dysphagia and Parkinson's Disease: a Pilot Study
Goal
Reduce swallowing roll using rhythm
Phase
NA
Status
RECRUITING
Sponsor
Hopital La Musse
Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL
Enrollment
18 participants
Conditions
Oral Festination, Lingual Pumping, Dysphagia, Swallowing Disorder, PARKINSON DISEASE (Disorder)
Interventions
Swallowing rehabilitation by rhythmic auditory cue

Plain-Language Summary

It aims to reduce how often people with Parkinson's have "rolling" or lingual pumping during swallowing, which makes eating inefficient and can raise the risk of choking or aspiration. The approach uses swallowing rehabilitation with rhythmic auditory cues, basically a steady beat that times tongue and throat muscle contractions so swallows become more regular and coordinated, helping to stop the tongue from rolling. This pilot will enroll about 18 people to see if the method is feasible and helpful. Adults 18 and older with idiopathic Parkinson's confirmed by DAT scan and a swallowing rolling problem can join, while people with severe pharyngeal aspiration, major hearing loss, significant cognitive impairment, ongoing speech therapy or gastrostomy, other neurological causes of dysphagia, pregnancy, legal protection measures, or participation in another trial are excluded.
