Problems swallowing

Dysphagia frequently arises in conjunction with diseases of the nervous system or brain injury, and the day-to-day consequences for those affected are intrusive. Eating and drinking substantially affect the quality of life and are essential everyday skills.

Dysphagia can lead to severe health risks and reduce quality of life. Consequently, questions arise about diet, ingestion of food, dealing with a tracheal cannula and the correct treatment method.

Registration

Patients who suffer from symptoms that indicate a swallowing disorder can be registered for the swallowing consultation via their (GP/specialist) doctor.
