Wearable device training for swallowing after stroke or Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a wearable device that gives feedback on swallowing exercises. It may improve swallowing safety after a stroke or for people with Parkinson's disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 90 years old.
- You had a stroke at least 3 months ago or have Parkinson's disease (stage 2 to 4).
- You have a swallowing problem (oropharyngeal dysphagia).
- You can follow instructions and use a device with help if needed.
- You have no recent pneumonia, head/neck surgery, or allergies to the sensor materials.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a smartphone/tablet digital program meant to help with drooling (sialorrhea) and swallowing problems in people with Parkinson’s disease. If you’re eligible, you’ll use the platform during clinic study visits to see whether it can improve symptoms and safety.
This trial tests a rehabilitation approach aimed at improving airway protection during swallowing in people with Parkinson’s disease. It may help reduce the risk of food or liquid going down the wrong way by improving swallow safety.
This trial studies whether using “biofeedback” (seeing your body’s muscle signals on a screen) along with standard care can improve swallowing after a stroke. You might be eligible if you have ongoing swallow trouble and can safely do the training sessions.
This study tests an AI-guided program to help people who have trouble swallowing (dysphagia) improve their ability to eat and drink safely. The program is designed to work with standard rehabilitation exercises.
This study tests whether special swallowing exercises with a visual feedback tool can help people who have trouble swallowing after a recent stroke. If you've had a stroke in the last 6 months and have trouble swallowing, this may help you regain strength.
This trial tests a smartphone-based care system designed to help stroke survivors who have difficulty swallowing. The goal is to improve swallowing function and overall health using technology and remote monitoring.
