Effect Of Piperine In Patients With Oropharyngeal Dysphagia (FIS 2009_2)

February 27, 2015 updated by: Pere Clave, Hospital de Mataró

Effect of Natural Agonists of TRPV1 in the Treatment of Functional Oropharyngeal Dysphagia in Neurological Diseases and the Elderly: Piperine

Piperine acts on the oropharyngeal TRPV1, increasing sensory input and the release of substance P. These actions may accelerate the oropharyngeal swallow response, improving the swallowing of dysphagic patients.
