Conditions

Upper Esophageal Sphincter Relaxing Pressure

Brief summary

patients with cervical spondylolysis may have swallowing or eating difficulty. In this study, we will use high resolution impedance manometry to evaluate these patients' detailed swallowing mechanisms.

Detailed description

This study will aim to evaluate swallowing function in patients with cervical spondylolysis by using high resolution impedance manometry (HRIM) along with oral frailty and dysphagia questionnaires. Researchers will plan to enroll 50 patients to investigate this issue. The inclusion criteria will be as following:1) age higher or equal to 20 years old; 2) patients with cervical spondylolysis or associated symptoms. The exclusion criteria will be as following: major organ dysfunction, including chronic kidney disease, bleeding tendency. The primary outcome will be the upper esophageal sphincter relaxing pressure. The researchers will hope to find the swallowing dysfunction mechanisms in these patients.
