Summary

The main objective of this clinical study is to measure the effect of rhythmic auditory cueing, introduced in rehabilitation with three weekly sessions over a period of 7 weeks, on the frequency of rolling in idiopathic Parkinson's disease patients using pharyngography (swallowing radiography). The primary question of this study is:

Does the rhythmic cueing introduced in rehabilitation significantly reduce the frequency of rolling in dysphagic Parkinson's patients?

The researchers will assess the various stages of swallowing before, after, and 3 months after the rehabilitation protocol, focusing on the oral phase to determine if rhythmic auditory cueing reduces the frequency of rolling.

Participants will be required to:

* Perform three complete assessments (clinical speech therapy examination + pharyngography) before the protocol, after the protocol, and 3 months post-protocol.
* Attend three times per week for 7 weeks at the La Musse hospital to participate in the protocol sessions under the supervision of a speech therapist.

Conditions

  • Oral Festination
  • Lingual Pumping
  • Dysphagia
  • Swallowing Disorder
  • PARKINSON DISEASE (Disorder)

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Swallowing rehabilitation by rhythmic auditory cue

Three assessments, each spread over two days, will be administered at three different time points during the study: before the experiment (T0), after 7 weeks of the experiment (T1), and 3 months after the intervention (T2). The evaluation will include a pharyngography as well as a clinical assessment of swallowing and rhythmic abilities. Each subject will be invited to participate in 3 individual rehabilitation sessions per week for 7 weeks, conducted by a speech therapist at La Musse Hospital. Each session will be structured similarly: the subject will be asked to swallow their saliva, followed by a nectar-like texture (IDDSI 2) and a pudding-like texture (IDDSI 4), timed to the rhythm of a metronome. The rhythm will vary throughout the sessions. The goal will be to get as close as possible to the rhythm of a healthy swallow.
