Study of Speech Disorders , Voice and Swallowing in Primary Dystonia Oromandibular (DOM)

December 20, 2017 updated by: University Hospital, Lille
To better define the clinical characteristics of oromandibular dystonia, we aimed to study voice, speech and swallowing disorders in idiopathic oromandibular We planned to include consecutive patients followed in Lille Movement disorders department for idiopathic oromandibular dystonia and matched, healthy control subjects. Voice and speech disorders had to be assessed with the phonetic analysis, perceptive analysis and motor examination modules of the "Batterie d'Evaluation Clinique de la Dysarthrie" (Clinical Evaluation of Dysarthria), the Grade, Rough, Breathy, Asthenic, Strained scale, and a computer recording. Activities of daily living had to be assessed with the Oromandibular Dystonia Questionnaire, the Voice Handicap Index and the Deglutition Handicap Index.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
French scale "Batterie d'Evaluation Clinique de la Dysarthrie" (Clinical Evaluation of Dysarthria) phonetic analysis.
Time Frame: 10 minutes at baseline
To describe the clinical characteristics of dysarthria in idiopathic oromandibular dystonia. Composite score (min=best=0; max=worst=151) including three subscales: phonetic production (min=worst=0; max=best=33); simple words (min=worst=0; max=best=88); complex words (min=wost=0; max=best=30).
10 minutes at baseline

Time Frame: 1 minute at baseline
To describe the clinical characteristics of voice impairment in idiopathic oromandibular dystonia. Fundamental frequency was measured in Hz
1 minute at baseline
French software "Logiciel d'Evaluation Vocale Assistée" (Computer-Assisted Voice Assessment): repetitions.
Time Frame: 2 minutes at baseline

2 minutes at baseline
French software "Logiciel d'Evaluation Vocale Assistée" (Computer-Assisted Voice Assessment): mean vocal intensity
Time Frame: 1 minute at baseline
To describe the clinical characteristics of voice impairment in idiopathic oromandibular dystonia. Mean vocal intensity was measured in dB
1 minute at baseline
