Dysphagia in Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common manifestation, particularly in advanced disease stages. However, the pathophysiology and time course of dysphagia progression remains unclear in non-advanced disease stages (e.g., Hoehn & Yahr stages I-III). Conflicting reports from investigations of the perception of dysphagia in people with PD further complicates our understanding of dysphagia in this population.
