Parsons A, Dewan K. Dysphagia and Dysphonia After Head and Neck Cancer. Oral Dis 2024. [PMID: 39370743 DOI: 10.1111/odi.15152] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2024] [Revised: 09/15/2024] [Accepted: 09/24/2024] [Indexed: 10/08/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this work is to synthesize the latest developments in diagnosis and management of acute and late dysphagia and dysphonia in oral cavity cancer. METHODS A literature search was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Google Scholar in May 2024 of articles published between 2021 and 2024. Keywords in the search terms included oral cavity cancer, dysphagia, dysphonia, deglutition, swallowing, voice, oral cavity cancer treatment, oral cavity radiation, chemotherapy, dysgeusia, xerostomia, swallow preservation. RESULTS Twenty-seven pertinent studies fit the inclusion criteria. The most common dysphagic complaints following head and neck cancer are trismus, xerostomia, mucositis and dysphagia. Dysphonia, change in voice is reported by half of head and neck cancer survivors. Fibrosis and neuropathy following radiation therapy to the oral cavity, tongue, oropharynx and its surrounding structures is the most common etiology of post-treatment dysphonia. CONCLUSIONS Oral cavity cancers cause speech and swallowing dysfunction due to both anatomic and post-treatment changes. These sequalae can be detrimental to the quality of life of the head and neck cancer survivor. For both dysphagia and dysphonia after head and neck cancer early speech and swallow therapy with a Speech Language Pathologist are essential to restoring and maintaining function.

Comparative analysis of CO2 laser and ultracision harmonic scalpel for endoscopic treatment of Zenker's diverticulum using a propensity score: A retrospective observational study. Am J Otolaryngol 2024; 45:104435. [PMID: 39226772 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjoto.2024.104435] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2024] [Accepted: 07/21/2024] [Indexed: 09/05/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Zenker's diverticulum (ZD) is a progressive condition that can cause dysphagia and aspiration. Endoscopic cricopharyngeal myotomy (ECPM) is the gold standard treatment for ZD, but there are various techniques available. We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of the ultrasonic harmonic scalpel (UHS) versus the CO2 laser (CO2L) for ECPM in ZD. DESIGN We led an observational study. The main composite outcome consisted in persistence of postoperative dysphagia OR recurrence/reoperation of symptomatic ZD within two years postoperatively. Surgery was considered effective when no dysphagia within two years postoperatively. The secondary outcome was the occurrence of acute mediastinitis within 72 h postoperatively. A propensity score was built to adjust for differences observed between non-randomized groups. Additional sensitivity analyses were performed. SETTING All patients with ECPM surgery for ZD were included from 2011 to 2018 in a single tertiary center. Patients with failure of endoscopic exposition were excluded. PARTICIPANTS The study included 86 patients who underwent ECPM with either the CO2L (n = 53) or UHS (n = 33) technique. ZD size and other demographic variables were comparable between the groups. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES UHS had superior efficacy compared to CO2L (relative risk of failure = 0.29; 95 % confidence interval: 0.05-1.0; p = 0.05), but there was a higher incidence of mediastinitis in the UHS group (12 % vs. 4 %), although this was not statistically significant. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION The UHS technique appears to be an effective technique for ECPM in ZD patients but its safety remains to explore by further larger studies.

Abstract
Cricopharyngeal achalasia (CPA), also known as cricopharyngeal bar, is a rare motor disorder affecting the upper oesophageal sphincter. This comprehensive literature review focuses on clinical aspects that can assist physicians in daily decision-making. The diagnosis of CPA is primarily based on symptoms of upper dysphagia and radiological identification of a posterior bar. However, the diagnostic process is not standardized and necessitates a multimodal approach, including radiological, endoscopic, and manometric studies performed by various specialists. Treatment options for CPA include botulinum toxin injection, endoscopic balloon dilatation, open or endoscopic surgery, and cricopharyngeal peroral endoscopic myotomy (CP-POEM). CP-POEM is the latest indication for POEM and has shown promising results with minimal adverse events, though high-quality evidence is still lacking.

Abstract
Patients with oral and pharyngeal dysphagia have difficulty forming a cohesive bolus and/or transferring food from the mouth into the pharynx and esophagus to initiate the involuntary swallowing process. This may be accompanied by nasopharyngeal regurgitation, aspiration, and a sensation of residual food remaining in the pharynx. Abnormalities affecting the upper esophageal sphincter, pharynx, larynx, or tongue, in isolation or combination, result in oropharyngeal dysphagia affecting either or both transit and airway protection. These issues can be addressed with a combination of management of the underlying systemic disease, with surgical intervention or with swallow therapy.

Abstract
The Korean Society of Laryngology, Phoniatrics and Logopedics created a task force to establish clinical practice guidelines for the use of botulinum toxin (BT) in otolaryngology. We selected 10 disease categories: spasmodic dysphonia, essential vocal tremor, vocal fold granuloma, bilateral vocal fold paralysis, Frey's syndrome, sialocele, sialorrhea, cricopharyngeal dysfunction, chronic sialadenitis, and first bite syndrome. To retrieve all relevant papers, we searched the CORE databases with predefined search strategies, including Medline (PubMed), Embase, the Cochrane Library, and KoreaMed. The committee reported 13 final recommendations with detailed evidence profiles. The guidelines are primarily aimed at all clinicians applying BT to the head and neck area. In addition, the guidelines aim to promote an improved understanding of the safe and effective use of BT by policymakers and counselors, as well as in patients scheduled to receive BT injections.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Dysphagia is a common clinical condition characterized by difficulty in swallowing. It is sub-classified into oropharyngeal dysphagia, which refers to problems in the mouth and pharynx, and esophageal dysphagia, which refers to problems in the esophageal body and esophagogastric junction. Dysphagia can have a significant negative impact one's physical health and quality of life as its severity increases. Therefore, proper assessment and management of dysphagia are critical for improving swallowing function and preventing complications. Thus a guideline was developed to provide evidence-based recommendations for assessment and management in patients with dysphagia. METHODS Nineteen key questions on dysphagia were developed. These questions dealt with various aspects of problems related to dysphagia, including assessment, management, and complications. A literature search for relevant articles was conducted using Pubmed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and one domestic database of KoreaMed, until April 2021. The level of evidence and recommendation grade were established according to the Grading of Recommendation Assessment, Development and Evaluation methodology. RESULTS Early screening and assessment of videofluoroscopic swallowing were recommended for assessing the presence of dysphagia. Therapeutic methods, such as tongue and pharyngeal muscle strengthening exercises and neuromuscular electrical stimulation with swallowing therapy, were effective in improving swallowing function and quality of life in patients with dysphagia. Nutritional intervention and an oral care program were also recommended. CONCLUSION This guideline presents recommendations for the assessment and management of patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia, including rehabilitative strategies.

Acupuncture combined with balloon dilation for post-stroke cricopharyngeal achalasia: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Front Neurosci 2023; 16:1092443. [PMID: 36711135 PMCID: PMC9879211 DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2022.1092443] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Accepted: 12/22/2022] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to systematically evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture combined with balloon dilatation in patients with post-stroke cricopharyngeal achalasia (CPA) according to the effective rate, videofluoroscopy swallowing study (VFSS) score and standardized swallowing function assessment scale (SSA) score through Meta-analysis. Methods English and Chinese language literature published before July 24,2022 were searched in ten electronic databases. The identified articles were screened, data were extracted, and the methodological quality of the included trials was assessed. Using RevMan 5.4.1 software to perform Meta-analysis. Results 10 studies with 517 patients with post-stroke CPA were included. Meta-analysis showed that the effective rate of the experience group was higher than that of the control group [OR = 0.62; 95% CI (2.32, 13.05); I 2 = 0%; p = 0.0001]. Compared to the control group, the SSA score was lower in the experience group [MD = -4.22; 95% CI (-4.57, -3.87); I 2 = 42%; p < 0.00001]. In terms of VFSS scores, the experience group showed greater efficacy differences than control group [MD = 1.53; 95% CI (1.32, 1.75); I 2 = 0%; p < 0.00001]. The subgroup analysis of VFSS score based on the average course of disease (<1 month vs. ≥1 month) showed no significant difference. The subgroup analysis based on average age (>60 years vs. ≤60 years) showed the VFSS score of the experience group was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the effect may be better in the subgroup older than 60 years. The subgroup analysis based on the treatment course (>30 days vs. ≤30 days) showed the VFSS score of the experience group was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the effect may be better in the subgroup the treatment course>30 days. Conclusion Acupuncture combined with balloon dilatation may be an effective method for treating post-stroke CPA. Compared with balloon dilatation, acupuncture combined with balloon can significantly improve the swallowing function of patients, and it is also effective for patients of different courses, ages, and treatment course, while patients over 60 years old and the treatment course over 30 days may have better clinical outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTIONS/AIMS Inclusion body myositis (IBM) typically presents with progressive weakness preferentially involving finger flexors and quadriceps. Atypical presentations have been less commonly reported. Here, we aim to describe the clinical characteristics and long-term outcomes of IBM patients with atypical presentations. METHODS We retrospectively searched the Mayo Clinic medical records to identify IBM patients with atypical disease onset, seen between 2015 and 2020. RESULTS We identified 357 IBM patients, of whom 50 (14%) had an atypical presentation. Thirty-eight patients were diagnosed with IBM because they fulfilled one of the European Neuromuscular Center diagnostic categories at a later stage, 10 had all IBM histopathological features, and 2 were diagnosed on the basis of clinical and laboratory data. The most common presentation was dysphagia (50%), followed by asymptomatic hyperCKemia (24%; CK, creatine kinase), then foot drop (12%). 6% of patients presented with proximal arm weakness, 4% with axial weakness and 4% with facial diplegia. Median time from symptom onset to diagnosis was 9 y. Median age at diagnosis was 70.5 y. 16% of patients needed a walking aid. When tested, 86.5% of patients had impaired swallowing and 56% had elevated cytosolic nucleotidase-1A antibodies. Only 1/26 patients who received immunotherapy had minimal improvement. Upon follow-up, most patients had generalization of their weakness with a decline in their strength summated score of 0.082/mo. DISCUSSION A significant proportion of IBM patients may have an atypical presentation. Recognition of such heterogeneity could improve early diagnosis, prevent unnecessary immunotherapy, and provide insight for future diagnostic criteria development and clinical trials.

Effect of Cold Fluid Compensatory Swallowing Combined with Balloon Dilation on the Treatment of Poststroke Cricopharyngeal Achalasia: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:4171561. [PMID: 36254140 PMCID: PMC9569196 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4171561] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2022] [Accepted: 09/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Objective This study is aimed at comparing the treatment efficacy between catheter balloon dilation combined with cold fluid compensatory swallowing training and catheter balloon dilation alone on poststroke cricopharyngeal achalasia (CPA). Methods We conducted a single-blind, randomized controlled trial (RCT). Poststroke patients with CPA were divided into two groups: the control group (treated with catheter balloon dilation) and the trial group (catheter balloon dilation combined with cold fluid compensatory swallowing). Videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) was performed, and functional oral intake scale (FOIS) was used to evaluate and compare the swallowing function of patients in the 2 groups before and after intervention. Posttreatment VAS pain scores and recovery time were also measured. Results VFSS and FOIS scores in the two groups were improved after treatment (P < 0.05). In the trial group, VFSS scores in the pharyngeal phase and aspiration degree were significantly higher compared with the control group (P < 0.05) but not in the oral phase (P > 0.05). The difference in FOIS scores and patients' recovery time from intervention to eating mushy food between the trial and control groups was significant (P < 0.05), but not the VAS scores (P > 0.05). Conclusion The catheter balloon dilation combined with cold fluid compensatory swallowing was superior to catheter balloon dilation alone in terms of relieving dysphagia and reducing aspiration in patients with CPA following stroke. Long-term efficacy should be followed up with more objective and quantitative indicators in future studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As an upper oesophageal sphincter (UES) dysfunction disorder, cricopharyngeal achalasia (CPA) is a common cause of dysphagia and is associated with an increased risk of pulmonary complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness and safety of BTX-A injection using ultrasound combined with balloon guidance for the treatment of CPA caused by stroke. METHODS A total of 21 patients diagnosed with CPA were treated with BTX-A injection into the cricopharyngeal muscle using ultrasound combined with balloon guidance. Primary outcome measures, including the functional oral intake scale (FOIS), videofluoroscopic dysphagia scale (VDS) and penetration aspiration scale (PAS), which are quantitative measures for a video fluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS), and scores of the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) were assessed from baseline to 12 weeks after treatment. Repeated measures analysis of variance was used to compare the scores between time points. RESULTS BTX-A injection led to improved dysphagia symptoms and scores in 19 patients (90.48%). Among them, 5 cases were cured (23.81%), 11 cases showed significant improvement (52.38%), and 3 cases showed improvement (14.29%). Two cases were absolutely ineffective (9.52%). Compared with the scores prior to treatment, the scores on the FOIS, VDS, PAS, SAS and SDS significantly improved beginning at 3 days (p < .05) and lasting for at least 12 weeks after injection. CONCLUSIONS Ultrasound with balloon-guided BTX-A injection is probably a relatively safe, easy, and effective technique for the treatment of CPA caused by stroke, with better visualization of the injection procedure. A well-designed controlled trial with a larger sample size is needed for more convincing conclusions.

Front Vet Sci 2022; 9:889331. [PMID: 35754550 PMCID: PMC9228035 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2022.889331] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2022] [Accepted: 05/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Swallowing impairment is a highly prevalent and clinically significant problem affecting people and dogs. There are myriad causes of swallowing impairment of which gastroesophageal reflux is the most common in both species. Similarities in anatomy and physiology between humans and canines results in analogous swallowing disorders including cricopharyngeus muscle achalasia, esophageal achalasia, hiatal herniation, and gastroesophageal reflux with secondary esophagitis and esophageal dysmotility. Accordingly, the diagnostic approach to human and canine patients with swallowing impairment is similar. Diagnostic procedures such as swallowing fluoroscopy, high-resolution manometry, pH/impedance monitoring, and endolumenal functional luminal imaging probe can be performed in both species; however, nasofacial conformation, increased esophageal length, and the difficulty of completing several of these procedures in awake dogs are inherent challenges that need to be considered. Human patients can convey their symptoms and respond to verbal cues, whereas veterinarians must rely on clinical histories narrated by pet owners followed by comprehensive physical examination and observation of the animal eating different food consistencies and drinking water. Dogs may also be unwilling to drink or eat in the hospital setting and may be resistant to physical restraint during diagnostic procedures. Despite the species differences and diagnostic challenges, dogs are a natural animal model for many oropharyngeal and esophageal disorders affecting people, which presents a tremendous opportunity for shared learnings. This manuscript reviews the comparative aspects of esophageal anatomy and physiology between humans and canines, summarizes the diagnostic assessment of swallowing impairment in both species, and discusses future considerations for collaborative medicine and translational research.
