Aims and Scopes

The journal 'DYSPHAGIA' focuses on advancing the understanding and management of swallowing disorders through a multidisciplinary approach. It aims to publish high-quality research that bridges clinical practice and scientific inquiry in dysphagia, encompassing various aspects of swallowing function, assessment, and treatment. The journal attracts contributions from diverse fields including speech-language pathology, gastroenterology, otolaryngology, and neurology.
  1. Clinical Assessment of Dysphagia:
    Research on diagnostic tools and methodologies for assessing swallowing disorders, including instrumental techniques like videofluoroscopy and flexible endoscopic evaluations.
  2. Rehabilitation and Therapeutic Interventions:
    Studies exploring various rehabilitation strategies, including exercises, neuromuscular stimulation, and behavioral interventions aimed at improving swallowing function.
  3. Impact of Comorbidities on Dysphagia:
    Investigations into how other health conditions (e.g., neurological disorders, cancer treatments) affect swallowing ability and management.
  4. Patient-Reported Outcomes and Quality of Life:
    Research evaluating the impact of dysphagia on patients' quality of life and the effectiveness of interventions from the patient's perspective.
  5. Innovative Technologies in Dysphagia Management:
    Exploration of new technologies and methods, such as telehealth and machine learning applications, that enhance the assessment and treatment of dysphagia.
The journal has identified several emerging themes in dysphagia research that reflect the evolving nature of the field. These trends indicate a growing interest in innovative approaches and interdisciplinary collaborations aimed at improving dysphagia management.
  1. Telehealth and Remote Interventions:
    The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated interest in telehealth applications for dysphagia management, leading to an increase in studies evaluating the effectiveness of remote assessments and therapies.
  2. Integration of Multidisciplinary Approaches:
    There is a growing trend towards interdisciplinary research that incorporates insights from various fields, such as nutrition, neurology, and rehabilitation sciences, to address the complexities of dysphagia.
  3. Focus on Patient-Centered Care:
    Recent publications emphasize the importance of patient-reported outcomes and quality of life assessments, reflecting a shift towards more patient-centered approaches in dysphagia research.
  4. Innovative Rehabilitation Techniques:
    New methodologies, including the use of neuromuscular electrical stimulation and advanced swallowing exercises, are gaining traction as effective rehabilitation strategies.
  5. Machine Learning and Data Analytics:
    The application of machine learning and data-driven approaches for predicting dysphagia risk and improving assessment accuracy is emerging as a significant theme in recent research.

Declining or Waning

While 'DYSPHAGIA' continues to address a broad range of topics related to swallowing disorders, certain areas of research appear to be losing prominence in recent publications. This shift may reflect changes in clinical focus or advancements in technology that render some previously popular topics less relevant.
  1. Traditional Assessment Methods:
    There seems to be a decreasing focus on conventional assessment methods, such as purely subjective evaluations, as more emphasis is placed on objective and advanced techniques like high-resolution manometry and imaging technologies.
  2. General Dysphagia Prevalence Studies:
    Research articles focused solely on the epidemiology of dysphagia without specific clinical or therapeutic implications are becoming less common, possibly due to the increasing demand for studies that directly inform clinical practice.
  3. Pharmacological Interventions:
    There is a noticeable decline in studies centered around pharmacological treatments for dysphagia, as the field shifts towards non-pharmacological and rehabilitative approaches.
  4. Basic Science Research on Swallowing Mechanisms:
    While foundational research is important, papers focusing solely on basic science without direct clinical applications or implications are less frequently published.
