Outpatient Swallowing Therapy for Subjects With Neurological Illness
Outpatient Swallowing Therapy for Subjects With Neurological Illness - a Feasability Study
Health care staff in the municipalities do not always have the necessary competencies to treat patients with dysphagia. At the present neurorehabilitation hospital dysphagia examinations for outpatients are provided.
The objective is to investigate the effect of a specialized outpatient dysphagia unit for subjects with dysphagia following neurological illness. Occupational therapists from the outpatient dysphagia unit will train with subjects for 2-3 weeks, and supervise furter training provided by health care staff in the municipalities.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in Fiberoptic Endoscopic Dysphagia Severity Scale (FEDSS)
Time Frame: Baseline and 14 days follow-up
|
The FEDSS assess severity of dysphagia, with scores ranging 1-6.
Higher scores mean worse outcome.
|
Baseline and 14 days follow-up
|
Change in Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS)
Time Frame: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 14 days follow-up
|
Level of oral intake with scores ranging 1-7.
Higher scores mean better outcome.
|
Baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 14 days follow-up
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in Penetration Aspiration Scale (PAS)
Time Frame: Baseline and 14 days follow-up
|
Assessment of aspiration with scores ranging 1-8.
Higher scores mean worse outcome.
|
Baseline and 14 days follow-up
|
Change in The Yale Pharyngeal Residue Severity Rating Scale
Time Frame: Baseline and 14 days follow-up
|
Assessment of residue location and amount of residue.
Two subscales with scores ranging 1-5.
Higher scores mean worse outcome.
|
Baseline and 14 days follow-up
|
Facio Oral Tract Therapy - Swallowing assessment of Saliva (FOTT-SAS)
Time Frame: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 14 days follow-up
|
Clinical examination of swallowing function.
Yes or no to initiation of oral intake (binary outcome).
|
Baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 14 days follow-up
|
Dysphagia Handicap Index (DHI)
Time Frame: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 14 days follow-up
|
Questionnaire on experience of dysphagia.
25 items with a toal score ranging 0-100.
Higher scores mean worse outcome.
Also measures overall severity with scores ranging 1-7.
Higher scores means worse outcome.
