Saliva Composition in Oculo-Pharyngeal Muscular Dystrophy (OPMD)
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
The goal of this observational study is to explore whether oral health and saliva viscosity and composition in Oculopharyngeal Muscular Dystrophy (OPMD) is different from control subjects. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do swallowing disturbances in OPMD adversely affect oral health? Is saliva thickness (viscosity) is increased in OPMD? Does saliva in OPMD contains biochemical markers of the disease?
