First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study checks how common swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) are in people with inflammatory rheumatic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. Researchers used questionnaires to measure swallowing function, gut symptoms, and diet quality in 191 participants. The goal is to understand the link between these diseases and swallowing problems, not to test a treatment.
