Summary
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if exercising the muscles that help you
cough and swallow, called expiratory muscle strength training (EMST), can help reduce the
risk of pneumonia due to aspiration (inhaling saliva instead of swallowing it) in patients
who have had radiation for head and neck cancer.
