Tape therapy for safer swallowing after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special tape placed on the muscles under your chin can help you swallow more safely after a stroke. If you have swallowing problems after a stroke, this treatment may improve your safety while eating or drinking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a stroke and are over 18 years old.
- You have trouble swallowing (this is called dysphagia).
- You do not have any other brain or nerve disease besides stroke.
- You do not have a tracheostomy tube.
- You do not have any open wounds or sores on the skin under your chin.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether kinesiology taping (a special tape placed on the skin) combined with swallowing exercises can help people who have had a stroke and have trouble swallowing. It may improve muscle thickness and swallowing function.
This study tests whether a special type of tape (kinesio taping) placed on your back can help improve your balance and trunk control after a stroke. If you are at least one month past your stroke and have ongoing balance or trunk problems, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a chin-tuck exercise (pressing your chin down against resistance) to improve swallowing function after a stroke. It includes both people with swallowing problems and healthy volunteers.
This study tests whether adding kinesio-taping to standard physical therapy helps improve arm movement and reduce stiffness in people recovering from a recent stroke.
This trial tests a simple neck exercise (chin tuck against resistance) to help people who have trouble swallowing after a recent stroke. The goal is to see if this exercise improves swallowing safety and strength.
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.
