Abstract:BackgroundThis pilot study analyzed correlations between tongue electrical impedance myography (EIM), standard tongue electromyography (EMG), and tongue functional measures in N = 4 long‐term oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) survivors.MethodsPatients were screened for a supportive care trial (NCT04151082). Hypoglossal nerve function was evaluated with genioglossus needle EMG, functional measures with the Iowa oral performance instrument (IOPI), and multi‐frequency tissue composition with tongue EIM.ResultsTongue EIM… Show more
