This study tests whether using video calls for a swallowing check-up (instead of traveling to the hospital) is just as helpful for people living in care homes. It may reduce the stress and travel for patients who need this exam.
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 voice and swallowing tests to understand how well your mouth and throat are working. It may help researchers find useful ways to check for swallowing problems.
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 trial tests a non-invasive swallowing treatment for people with difficulty swallowing (dysphagia). It aims to improve swallowing safety and reduce the risk of food or liquid going down the wrong pipe.
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.
