Testing normal swallowing measurements using video X-rays
Part of Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study helps researchers create reference (baseline) values for how swallowing looks on video X-ray. You may qualify if you have no swallowing problems, or if you have a diagnosed swallowing-related condition with significant symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- If you are a healthy volunteer: you have no history of swallowing difficulties
- If you have a swallowing condition: a doctor has diagnosed you and you have significant symptoms (Sydney Swallow Questionnaire score 200 or higher)
- You can understand the study materials (no major thinking/speaking/communication problems that would block comprehension)
- You do not have a known latex allergy
- You are not currently pregnant

This study uses ultrasound to look at muscles under your chin and understand how they relate to swallowing problems after a long period on a breathing tube.
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 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 trial tests whether an ultrasound can reliably evaluate swallowing problems. It aims to find a non-invasive way to assess your swallowing, which could help guide your care.
This study tests a new microphone device to see if it can help find swallowing problems in people who have had a stroke. If you are already scheduled for a swallowing test, you may be able to take part.
This study tests a new way to measure and improve swallowing using a thin tube with pressure sensors placed in the throat. It is for healthy adults without swallowing problems to see if this technique can help people learn to swallow better.
