1. Subsets of Functional Dysphagia
Subsets of functional dysphagia will be reviewed, including phagophobia, muscle tension dysphagia, and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder. Diagnostic criteria and literature for each will be discussed.
2. Multidisciplinary Treatment for Functional Dysphagia
Historical and modern perspectives of treatment for functional neurological disorders and functional dysphagia will be reviewed. Multidisciplinary approaches to the management of functional dysphagia will be discussed.
