Wearable feedback device for swallowing therapy in 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 provides feedback to help improve swallowing in people with stroke or Parkinson's disease. It may help make swallowing therapy more effective by showing real-time progress during exercises.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 90 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with either a stroke or Parkinson's disease (at a moderate stage).
- You have trouble swallowing, confirmed by a speech-language therapist.
- You can follow instructions and perform swallowing exercises accurately (with up to 12 practice tries).
- You are able to use the device with or without a caregiver's help after training.

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 trial tests an AI-based program that helps people with swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) do rehabilitation exercises. It aims to see if the program is effective in improving swallowing function and is easy for patients to use.
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 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.
