High-intensity swallow therapy after ischemic stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma 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 a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that uses gentle electrical currents to help improve swallowing in people who have had a stroke. It aims to make swallowing safer and reduce food or liquid going into the lungs.
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 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 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 trial looks at two ways to feed people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke: a tube placed into the stomach (gastrostomy) or a tube through the mouth. The goal is to see which method works better for recovery.
This study tests a gentle air-pulse stimulation in the throat to see if it helps rebuild the brain's swallowing pathways after a stroke. It might improve your swallowing ability over time.
