High Resolution Pharyngeal Manometry (HRPM) Biofeedback
Sponsor: NYU Langone Health
Summary
The purpose of this study is to quantify the added benefit of visual biofeedback from High Resolution Pharyngeal Manometry (HRPM) for swallowing rehabilitation. Primary aims including assessing changes in swallowing biomechanics (pressure generation, timing) during swallow maneuvers with and without HRPM visual biofeedback. Secondary aim includes participant attitudes related to visual biofeedback and the experience of HRPM.
Official title: Assessing the Impact of Biofeedback on Task Performance With Swallowing Maneuvers in Healthy Young Adults Using High Resolution Pharyngeal Manometry (HRPM)

Swallowing Maneuvers
Swallows will include 5 regular-effort saliva swallows (+/- visual biofeedback), 5 effortful saliva swallows (+/- visual biofeedback), 5 mendelsohn maneuver swallows (+/- visual biofeedback), and 5 masako or tongue hold maneuver swallows (+/- visual biofeedback).
High Resolution Pharyngeal Manometry (HRPM)
A diagnostic tool using a catheter with closely spaced sensors to measure pressures and timing within the pharynx and upper esophageal sphincter (UES) during swallowing
