Summary

The purpose of this research study is to establish normal reference values for metrics used during high-resolution pharyngeal manometry (HRPM). HRPM is a test that measures pressures in the pharynx (throat) during swallowing. In this study, healthy adults who do not have a swallowing problem will undergo a single procedure that involves placing a small catheter in the nose and pharynx to measure pressure while swallowing liquids and foods. A single, one-hour visit is required for study participation. The HRPM procedure will take approximately 10 minutes. Participants will be compensated for their time and effort.
