DYSPHAGIA, PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
The primary objective of this study is to develop an ecological and non-invasive assessment method for dysphagia and P/A in HNC patients using acoustic features related to voluntary and reflexive coughs as biomarkers of dysphagia and penetration/aspiration in this population.Secondary objectives involve the investigation of the relation between acoustic and aerodynamic cough features as well as between acoustic cough and voice features, extending our insight into the pathophysiology of dysphagia in this population.
