Use Of A Tongue Strength Training Device And Its Relationship With Speech In Patients With Parkinson's Disease

"In the first session all protocols and assessments will be carried out as a way of observing the responses and previous measures of all participants. The group in this study must appear weekly for six weeks to verify if necessary, reinsufflate the bulb, carry out force measurement and lingual press with the IOPI, as well as receive or reinforce the guidance provided at the beginning of the treatment.~The participants in the group will study that will have a mobile phone and an instant message application will receive weekly, on scheduled days, a letter containing the following text message: Here is the day of performing the last exercise by the Speech Pathologist. Participants who do not have a mobile phone will be notified through a telephone connection or contact with a responsible family member/caregiver.~After the end of the sixth week of training, patients will be subjected to the last set of data on the two protocols and evaluations proposed in this study."

"The group in study, without treatment, supported by the same schedule of the patients treated, will represent the natural progression of failure disorders in PD. A decision was made not to include a false treatment, in order to adhere to the principle of balance and not to place an undue burden of time and effort on patients who receive a treatment with low therapeutic potential. Furthermore, the researchers considered that given the questions regarding the adequacy of simulations as comparators of treatment in behavioral studies, research in this work between the group in the study and the placebo group (without treatment) can provide more useful contrasts than a group with therapeutic simulation.~If the intervention clearly aims to provide direct benefits to the participants, this group will be contacted to carry out the same intervention later."
