Objectives

Narrative objectives1

To clarify the characteristics of the difference between self-perceived and objectively measured swallowing counts in patients with Parkinson's disease, and to examine whether this difference reflects freezing of swallowing and its occurrence process, thereby evaluating the clinical significance of freezing of swallowing.

This is an observational study involving 50 patients with Parkinson's disease aged 60 years or older and 50 older adults aged 60 years or older.
Study procedures:
After written informed consent is obtained, grip strength will be measured using a grip strength meter. Participants will then be seated and fitted with a non-invasive neck-worn device, followed by a 5-minute resting period in the seated position. During the measurements, neck-only video recording will be performed to confirm swallowing timing.
For the repetitive saliva swallowing test (RSST), participants will be informed before the test that they will be asked after the test how many times they think they swallowed during the 30-second period. They will then be instructed to swallow saliva as many times as possible for 30 seconds, and the RSST will be performed. After the RSST, the number of swallows perceived by the participant will be recorded as the participant-reported swallowing count. The objectively measured swallowing count will be calculated primarily based on swallowing sounds recorded by the neck-worn device, and neck-only video recordings will be used to confirm whether swallowing occurred and to verify swallowing timing.
Subsequently, the 100 mL water swallowing test will be performed. Participants will be instructed to drink 100 mL of room-temperature water as quickly as possible, and the time required to consume the water will be measured. If choking, coughing, wet vocal quality, or related symptoms occur during the measurement, their presence or absence will be recorded.
