Other related information

This study is a prospective, cross-sectional, observational study with no interventions beyond routine clinical care. After obtaining written informed consent, clinical backgrounds (age, sex, chief complaint, PD duration/severity, etc.) and the presence of subjective symptoms will be collected and observed from medical records. Regarding observation during testing, in [Study 1], routine high-resolution manometry (HRM) will be followed by a completely non-invasive transcervical ultrasound examination (ARIETTA 850 DeepInsight) to measure UES 12-directional kinetics and Radial Strain parameters. In [Study 2], only the ultrasound examination will be performed. Furthermore, during and immediately after the examinations, the attending physician will strictly monitor for adverse events such as aspiration or choking in real time, and evaluate subjective distress (tolerability) using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) upon completion, thereby ensuring both the safety and objectivity of the observation.
