Swallowing study with a new microphone device
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 85 years old.
- You have had a stroke or doctors think you might have had one.
- You are scheduled for a swallowing test (called a VFSS) because of swallowing problems.
- You have not had treatment for head or neck cancer.
- Your BMI is 35 or less (to make sure the microphone device works well).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 new ways to evaluate and measure swallowing difficulties caused by neurological conditions like stroke or Parkinson's disease. Participating helps researchers develop better tools to diagnose and monitor swallowing problems in patients with these conditions.
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.
This study uses voice and swallowing tests to understand how well your mouth and throat are working. It may help researchers find useful ways to check for swallowing problems.
This study tests if watching swallowing movements (action observation therapy) helps people recover swallowing function after a first-time stroke. It uses a brain imaging technique called fNIRS to see how the brain responds.
