Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: In particular, Neurologically impaired patients who suspected dysphagia will be recruited by explaining the study in writing to patients admitted to pediatric surgery department of Kurume University Hospital, and patients who have given their consent will be included. Patients who have obtained written consent to participate in the study from their surrogate.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Children with organic stenosis in the oesophagus who have difficulty inserting an impedance catheter or high-resolution oesophageal manometric catheter. Those deemed unsuitable as research subjects by the principal investigator and research assistants.
