Episodio 37: Cómo identificar las señales — Problemas de deglución en el Parkinson

Muchas personas asumen que los problemas para tragar, o la disfagia, solo ocurren en las etapas más avanzadas de la enfermedad de Parkinson (EP). En realidad, como estos cambios pueden desarrollarse gradualmente y aparecer antes de lo esperado, la detección temprana es fundamental. Saber qué señales buscar puede ayudar a las personas con Parkinson y a sus seres queridos a obtener el apoyo y la atención que necesitan.

En la parte 1 de esta serie de dos partes, hablamos con Martha Suárez Torres, terapeuta del habla y el lenguaje y aliado en el cuidado de su esposo con Parkinson, sobre cómo los cambios al tragar pueden afectar a las personas con la EP y cuándo es momento de buscar ayuda de un especialista. También comparte estrategias para reconocer cambios en casa, manejar la deglución de manera segura y explica cómo los familiares y seres queridos desempeñan un papel importante al informar cambios con el tiempo. 

Manténgase atento a la parte 2, donde continuamos nuestra conversación con Martha mientras habla sobre cómo abordar los desafíos de comunicación al cuidar a alguien con Parkinson.

Durante el episodio, Martha menciona un curso en línea sobre cómo entender el papel de la atención neuropaliativa para apoyar a un ser querido con Parkinson. Obtenga más información aquí, actualmente disponible en inglés.

Recursos en español:

Puntos clave:

  • La detección temprana es fundamental para reconocer los cambios al tragar y recibir el tratamiento y el apoyo adecuados.
  • Los cambios al tragar pueden ser difíciles de detectar. Conocer las señales comunes puede ayudar a las personas con la EP y a sus aliados en la atención a notar un cambio y buscar apoyo.
  • Los especialistas del habla y el lenguaje con frecuencia pueden brindar atención en persona o por telesalud. Si el acceso a la atención es limitado, aprender estrategias prácticas y saber cuándo buscar apoyo profesional puede ayudar a las personas a seguir manejando los síntomas en casa.
