Effects of Oral Cancer Treatments on Upper Esophageal Opening During Swallowing

NCT04658342 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 5

Last updated 2024-12-18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate post-operative and post-radiation upper esophageal sphincter opening measures in oral cancer patients, compare measures to age- and gender-matched healthy adults, and determine relationships with patient swallowing outcomes and quality of life.

Conditions

  • Cancer of Head and Neck

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Videofluoroscopic imaging (VFSS) with high-resolution manometry (HRM)

The Videofluoroscopic Imaging (VFSS) is done by inserting a small catheter into the nose and down the throat. The catheter is approximately .4 millimeters in diameter. A trained speech-language pathologist will insert the catheter after applying numbing medicine, or topical anesthetic, inside the nose. The high-resolution manometry (HRM) is a swallowing pressure test done at the same time as the VFSS. The HRM will measure how strong the throat muscle squeeze the liquids and foods that a person swallows. The VFSS and HRM will occur about one month after surgery and three months after the completion of the radiation treatment.
