Study of swallowing problems and muscle groups
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial studies how swallowing problems (dysphagia) relate to the muscles used for swallowing. It uses a special tool called HRPM-I to measure muscle activity, which may help doctors better understand and treat swallowing difficulties.

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 trial is testing a non-invasive device that monitors swallowing in healthy people and those with swallowing problems (dysphagia). It may help understand who has swallowing difficulties and how to monitor them safely.
This trial tests whether a home exercise program (SwallowFIT) can improve swallowing in people with Parkinson's disease who have mild to moderate symptoms. It compares the program to a control group to see if it helps with eating and drinking safely.
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 uses ultrasound to check the muscles that help you swallow and move. It aims to see if measuring these muscles can predict swallowing problems and muscle loss after being on a breathing machine.
This study uses sensors on the skin to measure muscle activity during swallowing in children. It aims to understand normal swallowing patterns, which could help doctors identify swallowing problems in other children.
