Study Summary
This study is a randomized trial examining the impact of expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) on oral intake, swallowing function, and swallow-related quality of life in persons treated for cancer of the head and neck (HNCA) with radiation therapy or chemoradiotherapy (RT/CRT) at least 5 years previously.
Primary Outcome
Change in Food Level and Drink Level on International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) scale will be calculated from baseline to post-treatment. IDDSI scale rates the level of liquid or food that the person can eat. Scale values range from 0 to 7, with higher values indicating better outcome (greater ability to eat).
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL Expiratory Muscle Strength Training
- BEHAVIORAL Pharyngeal Muscle Strengthening Exercises
