About This Trial
This study aims to explore the reliability of using ultrasonography (US) for the assessment of swallowing function in patients with dysphagia. The study will recruit 80 patients and compare the findings with those obtained from fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES), which serves as the gold standard.
