简要总结
Dysphagia in Parkinson's disease(PD) is common and its presence is related to motor and sensory abnormalities, and incoordination between swallowing and breathing. Despite harming as respiratory infections and increased risk of death, treatment of this condition remains uncertain. This study aims to evaluate the effect of oral motor exercises on the swallowing dynamics and quality of life of dysphagic Parkinson's disease patients. This study is an open trial, self-paired and blinded to the examiner. The participants will perform oropharyngeal exercises for five weeks and will be evaluated before and after intervention by swallowing videofluoroscopy and questionnaires about quality of life in dysphagia (SWAL-QOL).

结局指标
主要结局
Oropharyngeal Swallowing Score
时间窗: five weeks
Based on videofluoroscopy, were awarded points for the swallowing events according to their clinical relevance. The sum of these points results in the OSP (Oropharyngeal Swallowing Score), so that higher scores signify greater impairment in swallowing. OSP-score range from 0 to 243.5. This tool is being validated for that group.
