**6. Conclusion**

Oropharyngeal dysphagia is a common symptom in PD and can develop at any time during the course of the disease. In fact, some authors have suggested that dysphagia may be one of the initial symptoms of PD.

Treatment of dysphagia in PD requires specialized rehabilitation combining treatment strategies that maximize social functioning, minimize the swallowing burden on the patient, and improve mental health [35].
