Prevention and management of cricopharyngeal dyskinesia

Hysterocystis is the subjective presence of some indefinable object or mass at the level of the cricoid cartilage at the base of the pharynx, causing discomfort such as fullness, pressure or obstruction. Abnormal motor function in this area is also known as cricopharyngeal dyskinesia. Half of the general population has this sensation intermittently, but it is more common in menopausal women. Patients tend to have a psychiatric component in the onset and an obsessive-compulsive personality. Patients with heterosensory pharyngeal disorder should not panic excessively, go to the hospital for examination to exclude cancer, and stay in a cheerful mood in general. Some studies have shown that psychological factors play a dominant role, providing strong evidence for the psychological treatment of patients with hysterical bulbar syndrome. In the treatment of hysteria, the psychological factors of the disease must be paid attention to, and when the effect of simple biological treatment is poor or ineffective, it should be supplemented with psychological support treatment in time. For patients with cancer suspicion, patient and meticulous explanation should be made and strong hints should be given to guide patients to have a correct understanding of the disease until the suspicion is eliminated. Only by adopting an integrated treatment approach from the perspective of biological, psychological and socio-medical pathogenesis patterns can we receive better results.
