Abstract
High-resolution manometry (HRM) objectively measures swallowing-related pressures in the pharynx and esophagus. It has been used in many research applications, but it is unclear how HRM is perceived amongst speech-language pathologists (SLP) as it enters into clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to explore SLP perceptions of clinical HRM use. Based on qualitative data collected at four focus groups held at two national conferences and a survey based on open-ended questions, we found broad consensus among those queried regarding how HRM's objective and targeted data could enhance diagnosis and drive treatments. However, we found less consensus among SLPs regarding which patients may and may not benefit, as well as when in the clinical process HRM would best supplement existing technologies, showing a need for further research. These findings highlight how SLPs can be motivated to adopt new clinical technologies if they see a patient-centered benefit and underscore the need for continued SLP education on pharyngeal HRM.
