Swallowing Ultrasound Study for People with Swallowing Difficulty
Part of Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been referred for a swallowing evaluation due to swallowing difficulties.
- You have a swallowing ability score between 2 and 6 on the FOIS scale (meaning you can eat some foods by mouth but may also need tube feeding or have a modified diet).
- You are awake and able to follow instructions.
- You do not have unstable vital signs, active infections, or need a breathing machine.

This study uses ultrasound to look at how well you swallow. It is for adults aged 20 and older, and may help understand swallowing problems.
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 uses ultrasound to check the muscles that help you swallow and move. It aims to see if measuring these muscles can predict swallowing problems and muscle loss after being on a breathing machine.
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 study looks for noninvasive ways to measure how well your esophagus is moving. It may help doctors better evaluate swallowing and esophagus movement without relying only on invasive testing.
