Pulsed magnetic therapy for swallowing problems after stroke
Part of Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests whether pulsed electromagnetic therapy (a non-invasive treatment using magnetic fields) can help improve chronic swallowing difficulties in older adults who had a stroke. If you've struggled with swallowing for months after a stroke, this therapy may offer a new option to help you eat and drink more safely and comfortably.

This study tests whether adding a gentle magnetic brain stimulation (called rTMS) to standard swallowing therapy can help prevent pneumonia in people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. It might reduce the risk of getting a lung infection.
This study tests three non-invasive brain stimulation methods to see if they can help improve swallowing after a stroke. If you have swallowing difficulties due to a stroke, this research might offer a new way to support your recovery.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation technique on neck muscles can help improve swallowing in people who recently had a stroke. It may be a good option if you are still having trouble swallowing after your stroke.
This study tests a new way to help people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. It uses a small air pulse to gently stimulate your throat to see if it can help your brain rewire and improve swallowing.
This trial tests a non-drug therapy that uses gentle electrical stimulation to help people swallow safely when swallowing is affected by certain brain or nerve conditions. If you qualify, you may receive this approach to improve swallowing and reduce choking risk.
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.
