Test swallowing evaluation in people with neck bone disease
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study checks how well a new swallowing assessment works for people with neck (cervical) spondylosis, especially if you have trouble swallowing or expect neck surgery. It may help doctors better evaluate swallowing problems and plan safer care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have neck bone wear-and-tear (cervical spondylosis) with symptoms or are expected to have neck surgery
- You have swallowing trouble symptoms (or expect swallowing-related issues related to your condition)
- You do not have major organ problems, such as kidney problems or serious heart/lung issues
- You do not have a bleeding tendency (a condition that makes bleeding unusually likely)
- You are willing to complete the swallowing evaluation used in the study

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 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.
This study looks for noninvasive ways to measure how well your esophagus is moving. It may help doctors better evaluate swallowing and esophagus movement without relying only on invasive testing.
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 looks at ways to improve swallowing recovery in older adults who have trouble swallowing after elective neck spine surgery. It focuses on people who still show swallowing difficulty about one week after surgery.
This study looks at how a device affects how the esophagus muscles squeeze and relax. It may help people better understand swallowing problems, even if their usual esophagus test looks normal.
