Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of eliciting the swallowing reflex by esophageal liquid stimulation in older healthy individuals and patients with dysphagia using high-resolution pharyngo-esophageal manometry, and to identify the stimulation conditions that most effectively induce the swallowing reflex.

Maneuver

Interventions/Control_1

Water is infused into the esophagus via a transnasally inserted catheter to elicit the swallowing reflex (swallowing activity). The occurrence of induced swallowing and pharyngo-esophageal pressure responses are assessed using high-resolution manometry.
(Infusion volume, rate, infusion site, and number of trials are predefined in the protocol.)
