High-intensity swallow therapy after ischemic stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a more intensive swallow-therapy program for people with difficulty swallowing soon after an ischemic stroke. It may help improve safety and function when eating and drinking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 99 years old
- Have an ischemic stroke (a clot-related stroke)
- Have new swallowing trouble after your stroke (acute dysphagia)
- Be able to follow simple, one-step instructions for swallowing exercises
- Not have had swallowing trouble before this stroke

This trial tests an interactive teaching system that helps stroke patients learn about swallowing difficulties (dysphagia). The program uses videos and quizzes to teach you techniques to swallow safely, which might help you recover and avoid complications.
This trial tests a non-invasive device that stimulates a nerve in the ear to help improve swallowing after a recent stroke. It may be an option if you have moderate swallowing difficulties diagnosed within the first week after your stroke.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method to help people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. It aims to see if this treatment can improve swallowing function during recovery.
This trial tests two new exercises for people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. If you had a stroke within the last six months and haven't tried swallowing therapy before, this may help you regain strength in your throat muscles.
This study tests if watching swallowing movements (action observation therapy) helps people recover swallowing function after a first-time stroke. It uses a brain imaging technique called fNIRS to see how the brain responds.
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.
