This study is looking at how visual feedback from High Resolution Pharyngeal Manometry (HRPM) can help improve swallowing. HRPM is a diagnostic tool that uses a small tube with sensors to measure pressures and timing in your throat during swallowing. Researchers want to see if seeing these measurements in real-time (visual biofeedback) helps healthy adults aged 18-40 perform swallowing exercises better. They will measure changes in how strongly your throat muscles contract and how long a part of your throat called the pharyngoesophageal segment (PES) opens, both with and without this visual feedback. The study also aims to understand participants' feelings about using HRPM and visual biofeedback. Currently, the recruitment status is unclear, and the study plans to enroll 50 healthy individuals.

Study design

This is an interventional study planning to enroll 50 healthy participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.

What's involved

You would perform various swallowing maneuvers, such as regular-effort, effortful, Mendelsohn, and Masako/tongue hold swallows, both with and without visual biofeedback from the HRPM device. These measurements will be taken at baseline and for up to 2 minutes with HRPM.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Participants will be followed for up to 2 minutes during the HRPM measurements.
