Check swallowing and voice function in neurodegenerative diseases
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at how well the throat and voice-related functions work in people with certain long-term brain or nerve conditions. It uses a specific throat exam during FEES to better understand swallowing and laryngopharyngeal (throat-area) function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have one of these diagnoses: multiple system atrophy, PSP (progressive supranuclear palsy), Parkinson’s disease, motor neuron disease, or another neurodegenerative disease
- Your doctor has classified your condition as “probable or possible” using standard medical criteria
- You are in Hoehn and Yahr stage I through V (your disease severity scale)
- You have already had a specific throat function assessment during FEES using the study’s protocol
- You can and will sign the consent form

This study tests a comprehensive swallowing rehabilitation program for people with MSA (a nervous system condition) who have trouble swallowing. If you qualify, you may get structured swallowing therapy aimed at improving how safely you swallow.
This trial tests a rehabilitation approach aimed at improving airway protection during swallowing in people with Parkinson’s disease. It may help reduce the risk of food or liquid going down the wrong way by improving swallow safety.
This trial tests a new way to measure how well your throat and voice box work during swallowing. It may help doctors better understand swallowing problems and improve care.
This trial is testing if automatic voice analysis can help screen for swallowing problems in people with neurological conditions like stroke, Parkinson's disease, or ALS. It may help identify who needs further swallowing evaluation.
This study tests a device and exercises designed to improve or assess the swallowing process. It uses measurements taken through the nose to understand how the throat and swallowing muscles work.
This study looks at how people sense things in their throat and voice box. It includes healthy volunteers and people with throat/voice issues, including head and neck cancer survivors who have finished radiation. The goal is to better understand these sensations.
