Swallowing after heart ultrasound in acute stroke: follow-up study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study follows stroke patients who get a TEE (a heart ultrasound through the mouth) to see how often swallowing problems occur after the procedure. If you qualify, researchers will check your swallowing to better understand and manage any risks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a recent stroke confirmed by MRI or CT scan

- You still have stroke symptoms like weakness, trouble speaking, or difficulty swallowing
- You do not have bleeding in the brain from your stroke
- You are awake and able to cooperate with a swallowing exam

This study looks at how smell and taste may change after a new stroke, especially in the first few days. It may help doctors better understand and monitor symptoms related to eating and swallowing after stroke.
This trial tests whether an ultrasound can reliably evaluate swallowing problems. It aims to find a non-invasive way to assess your swallowing, which could help guide your care.
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 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 trial compares two types of feeding tubes to see which one helps protect your airway and improve swallowing after a stroke. It is for people who have had their first ischemic stroke within the past month and need help eating.
