Clinical trials: Pharyngeal Dysfunction
Transfer Dysphagia, Oropharyngeal Dysphagia
Onabotulinum Toxin A (Botox) in the Treatment of Pharyngo-esophageal Dysphagia
Dysphagia in patients with stroke, multiple sclerosis, parkinsonism or dystonia can occur due to relative hypertonia of the cricopharyngeus muscle. In the resting state, muscle is contracted and relaxes only during deglutition.
