This trial tests if video consultations can help assess swallowing problems in people living in care homes, avoiding hospital visits. Participants will have a swallowing assessment using telemedicine instead of going to the hospital.
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 measures how well you speak and swallow using simple tests. Researchers want to understand the connection between speech patterns and swallowing ability to help diagnose swallowing problems early.
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 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 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.
