Health Information
Swallowing
Speech and swallowing difficulties are common among patients with other neural and sensory conditions, such as Parkinson's disease or stroke. Because of this connection, the diagnosis and management of swallowing disorders is an important component of many care areas within the Neural and Sensory Science program grouping.
Swallowing disorders can be quite complex, involving the function of many different nerves and muscles. Treatment can include medication, the development of new swallowing techniques or the use of special feeding tubes.
