McGill Tool for Assessment of Dysphagia

The McGill Tool for Assessment of Dysphagia is a structured questionnaire used by healthcare professionals to evaluate swallowing difficulties. It asks patients about their experiences, symptoms, and the impact of swallowing problems on daily life. The tool helps identify the severity of dysphagia and guides treatment planning. It is valuable because it provides consistent, patient-reported information that complements clinical observations, aiding in accurate diagnosis and monitoring of progress over time.
