A survey of approximately 460 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) or multiple sclerosis (MS) shows that speech and swallowing difficulties are very frequent within these groups. Seventy percent of the PD patients and 44% of the MS patients had experienced impairment of speech and voice after the onset of their disease. Forty-one percent of the PD patients and 33% of the MS patients indicated impairment of chewing and swallowing abilities. The speech disorder was regarded as one of their greatest problems by 29% of the PD patients and by 16% of the MS patients. Only a small number of patients, 3% of the PD and 2% of the MS group, had received any speech therapy.read more

Accurate Telemonitoring of Parkinson's Disease Progression by Noninvasive Speech Tests
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate rapid, remote replication of UPDRS assessment with clinically useful accuracy (about 7.5 points difference from the clinicians' estimates), using only simple, self-administered and noninvasive speech tests.

Speech impairment in a large sample of patients with Parkinson's disease
TL;DR: Voice was found to be the leading deficit, most frequently affected and impaired to a greater extent than other features in the initial stages, and articulation was the most frequently impaired feature at the lowest level of performance.
Journal Article
Gastrointestinal dysfunction in Parkinson's disease.
TL;DR: The presence of pervasive α-synuclein deposition in the gastrointestinal tract strongly implicates this system in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease and holds potential for early disease detection and development of neuroprotective approaches.
