Checks choking risk from a throat ultrasound after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether using an ultrasound on the throat (laryngeal ultrasound) could cause choking in people who have had a recent stroke. If you recently had an acute stroke, they may test the safety of this monitoring approach for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke within the last 1 month
- The stroke is recent (not longer than 1 month ago)

This trial tests a simple neck exercise (chin tuck against resistance) to help people who have trouble swallowing after a recent stroke. The goal is to see if this exercise improves swallowing safety and strength.
This study tests a new treatment that uses ultrasound pulses to help people recover after a stroke. It may improve movement or language abilities.
This study tests if a new ultrasound score can help diagnose swallowing disorders in patients who are difficult to wean from a breathing tube and have a tracheostomy. It may help doctors better assess swallowing without more invasive tests.
This study tests whether ultrasound (sound wave imaging) can help doctors do procedures in the throat more safely and accurately. It may help people with chronic cough, voice problems, or swallowing issues.
This study tests a new way to help people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. It uses a small air pulse to gently stimulate your throat to see if it can help your brain rewire and improve swallowing.
This study tests a special tube used with a scope to clean the throat in people who had a stroke and are at risk for pneumonia. It aims to reduce lung infections and improve recovery.
