Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 1 month–99 years - NCT05963113Recruiting
Exercise and extra protein for swallowing and aging strength
This study tests whether a swallowing exercise program plus a higher-protein intake can improve function in older adults at risk for swallowing problems. It may help by strengthening muscles used for swallowing and supporting overall physical health.
New York, New YorkAges 65 years+ - NCT07500532Recruiting

Study for children with strep throat using beta-lactam antibiotics
This study looks at children ages 5–15 who test positive for Group A strep (often called strep throat). It may help by testing an antibiotic approach with beta-lactam medicines for children who are expected to need treatment.
Madison, WisconsinAges 5–15 - NCT06331351Recruiting
Herbal tea for chronic throat irritation
This trial tests whether a special herbal tea (Jing Si Herbal Tea) can help people with chronic pharyngitis (long-term throat irritation). It aims to see if the tea packets can soothe symptoms and improve throat health.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pharyngitis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 38 recruiting pharyngitis studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a pharyngitis trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a pharyngitis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
