Speech-language guidance for speech enhancement and on food management in terms of consistency, volumes, utensils and temperature, beyond the care for safe and efficient swallowing.

Speech-language guidance

Use of lip exercises and facial muscles, laryngeal elevation maneuver and airway protection technique, 5 repetitions 3 times a day for a month.

Speech therapy exercises for swallowing

Use of over-articulation technique and glottal firmness exercise, 5 repetitions 3 times a day for a month.

Sady S da Costa, PHD

This study aims to verify the impact of four speech therapy sessions on the Quality of Life of patients treated for malignant tongue and/or jaw cancer, using as measure specific questionnaires of speech and swallowing.

The hypothesis is that after treatment with exercises and speech therapy guidance, patients will present better indicators on Quality of Life related to speech and swallowing.

Quality of Life in Patients Treated for Tongue and/or Jaw Neoplasia Before and After Speech Therapy

Quality of Life in Patients Treated for Tongue and/or Jaw Neoplasia Before and After Speech Therapy: a Randomized Clinical Trial

To measure the changes in Quality of Life related to swallowing it was used the questionnaire Dysphagia Handicap Index (DHI)

To measure the changes in Quality of Life related to speech it was used the questionnaire Speech Handicap Index (SHI)

To measure the changes in Dysphagia classification it was used the Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing, exam that evaluate the functionability of swallow. These exams were presented to three judges (speech therapists) that in agreement classified the degree of dysphagia

To measure the changes in Speech Intelligibility it was used speech recordings that were analysed by three judges (speech therapists) that in agreement classified the degree of speech intelligibility
