Swallowing Clinic

Many patients who suffer neurological events like stroke, transient neurological deficits encounter swallowing difficulties. Also patients who have been treated for malignancy in the oropharyngeal and laryngopharyngeal region present with complaints of swallowing. The Swallowing Clinic aims to provide help for these patients.

These patients are subjected to a Functional endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) along with various dynamics involved in swallowing (nasal cannula, EMG, cervical auscultation, tongue array) to determine the exact cause of swallowing difficulty and then treated accordingly.
