Testing dysphagia screening methods after recent stroke
Part of Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of checking for swallowing problems (dysphagia) in people who were recently hospitalized for an acute ischemic stroke. If the new screening method works better, it could help catch swallowing issues earlier and improve safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You were admitted for an acute ischemic stroke within the last month
- You can consent to the study (you or a legal proxy can consent if needed)

This study tests new ways to evaluate and measure swallowing difficulties caused by neurological conditions like stroke or Parkinson's disease. Participating helps researchers develop better tools to diagnose and monitor swallowing problems in patients with these conditions.
This study is testing a German version of a swallowing screening tool (BJH-SDS-G) for stroke patients. It aims to identify swallowing problems early.
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 three non-invasive brain stimulation methods to see if they can help improve swallowing after a stroke. If you have swallowing difficulties due to a stroke, this research might offer a new way to support your recovery.
This study tests whether a feeding tube placed directly into the stomach (gastrostomy) or used only for some meals helps people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. It aims to see if these methods improve recovery.
This trial studies whether using “biofeedback” (seeing your body’s muscle signals on a screen) along with standard care can improve swallowing after a stroke. You might be eligible if you have ongoing swallow trouble and can safely do the training sessions.
