Swallowing study for adults with Alzheimer's
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at swallowing problems in people with Alzheimer's disease compared to healthy older adults. If you have Alzheimer's, you'll have a swallowing test and your caregiver will answer questions about your daily life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
