The therapeutic team approach helps multiple sclerosis patients meet the challenges of dysphagia and dysarthria and diagnosis and treatment are addressed.
Abstract
Abstract The therapeutic team approach helps multiple sclerosis patients meet the challenges of dysphagia (swallowing difficulty) and dysarthria (speech problems). Both stem either from plaques (or lesions) in the brain area responsible for these functions or from demyelination of the nerves in the brain stem. This article addresses diagnosis and treatment.

A survey of approximately 460 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) or multiple sclerosis (MS) shows that speech and swallowing difficulties are very frequent within these groups.

388 Citations1998Andrew Blitzer, Mitchell F. Brin +1 more
Botulinum toxin A injection of the laryngeal hyperfunctional muscles has been found over the past 12 years to be the treatment of choice to control the dystonic symptoms in most patients with spasmodic dysphonia.
PubMedThe benefit of head rotation on pharyngoesophageal dysphagia.
307 Citations1989J A Logemann, Peter J. Kahrilas +2 more
It is concluded that head rotation can improve swallowing in patients with unilateral oropharyngeal dysphagia, and two potentially beneficial effects were observed: functional exclusion of the relatively flaccid, weakened pharyngeAL wall, and reduced UES tone.
Archives of Physical Medicine and RehabilitationChin-down posture effect on aspiration in dysphagic patients
225 Citations1993Therese K. Shanahan, Jeri A. Logemann +3 more
Use of the chin-down posture during swallowing has been reported to reduce the occurrence of aspiration in some dysphagic patients, but patients who did not benefit from the posture were significantly younger and aspirated material from the pyriform sinus rather than the valleculae when the pharyngeal swallow was triggered.
PubMedChanges in pharyngeal dimensions effected by chin tuck.
190 Citations1993Maria V. Welch, Jeri A. Logemann +2 more
Changes in pharyngeal dimensions are measured when their heads were in an upright neutral position and in the chin-tucked position, which improves airway protection and also widens the angle of the epiglottis to the anterior tracheal wall.

Combining the modified barium swallow with a follow-up swallowing rehabilitation plan can decrease the cost and time for rehabilitation of patients with dysphagia.

124 Citations1999Ffion J. Thomas, C M Wiles
Normal swallowing is common in MS although often not complained of, and is associated with disordered brainstem/cerebellar function, overall disability, depressed mood and low vital capacity, but was not associated with major nutritional failure or pressure sores in this study.

Impaired language performances in MS are attributable to mild cognitive deterioration rather than to sensory or motor factors, and assessment of language functions should be included in neuropsychological evaluations of MS patients.

Critical frequency bands of instability, corresponding to wow, tremor, and flutter, distinguished the MS group from those of the control group and a single factor based on a linear discriminant analysis of the frequency-based measures was especially useful in distinguishing these groups.

The most valuable method of preventing drug-induced dysphagia is obtaining a thorough and accurate medication history from each patient and using prevention strategies and compensatory techniques, as well as examples of medications in each category based on therapeutic classification.

It is suggested that the immediate improvement of the dysarthria occurred as a result of changes in cerebellar neurotransmitter functions particularly 5-HT and GABA rather than from remyelination.
