Outcome measures
Primary outcome
T2-value change in possible involved muscles after three exercises with the
SEA.
Secondary outcome
Not applicable
Background summary
The Swallow Exercise Aid (SEA) was developed as a tool for muscle strengthening
exercises to restore swallowing function after head and neck cancer treatment.
However, there are insufficient data to prove that the training program targets
all relevant swallowing muscles. This information is needed to optimize the
training program. Muscle functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (mfMRI) is a
non-invasive technique which can be used to visualize activated muscles after
exercise.
Study objective
To visualize the muscles activated during standard exercises performed with the
Swallow Exercise Aid by means of T2 mapping with Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
Study design
Pretest-posttest study
Study burden and risks
The burden to the study subject mainly includes the time it takes to
participate: three times an MRI of 20 minutes. The MRI itself is not
accompanied with health risks. The participant him-/herself will not benefit
from participating in this study. However, information on whether the training
program targets all relevant swallowing muscles is relevant for dysphagia
patients. This information can be used to optimize the training program.
