Abstract
This article describes and compares methodologies for collecting data on the outcomes and efficacy of dysphagia treatments. Several examples are included that distinguish these various types of studies. Study designs that are unique to dysphagia such as assessing the immediate effectiveness of treatment strategies of the instrumental study are described.
KEYWORDS
Dysphagia - outcomes - randomized clinical trials - efficacy
