About

We are doing this study to find out what the most important outcomes to measure are when assessing if a swallowing treatment for people with Parkinson’s disease works. We aim to develop a minimum standard (a core outcome set) of what should be measured and how it should be measured in research studies on swallowing treatments for people with Parkinson’s disease.

The study is conducted by Julia Hirschwald as part of a PhD under the primary supervision of Prof. Margaret Walshe at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. Dr. Sallyanne Duncan, Prof. Tobias Warnecke and Mr. Gary Boyle are part of the research team.
