HRPM Biofeedback for Swallowing
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The purpose of this study is to quantify the added benefit of visual biofeedback from High Resolution Pharyngeal Manometry (HRPM) for swallowing rehabilitation. Primary aims including assessing changes in swallowing biomechanics (pressure generation, timing) during swallow maneuvers with and without HRPM visual biofeedback. Secondary aim includes participant attitudes related to visual biofeedback and the experience of HRPM.

Experimental Treatment
Participants will then undergo a 2-minute period of acclimation with the catheter in place prior to initiating the swallowing protocol and turning on the video biofeedback. Participants will then complete swallowing maneuvers, with 20 seconds between each swallow. The duration of the procedure from catheter placement to removal will be approximately 5-8 minutes.
