In this chapter, we will discuss the treatment approaches which have been empirically tested for dysphagia in PD. We will also address related approaches for improved cough function in PD.

3. Complex Case Rounds: The Dysphagia Management Plan in PD

In this chapter, we will bring all previous concepts together to address the development of the holistic dysphagia management plan in PD. We will address issues of cognitive status, apathy and depression, specific impairments, adherence, compliance, maintenance, and follow-up.
