How food left in throat affects swallowing decisions
This study looks at how speech-language pathologists decide on care based on where and how much food stays in the throat after swallowing. It aims to improve understanding of these tests to help patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a speech-language pathologist.
- You have at least one year of experience doing FEES (camera swallowing tests).

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.
This trial tests a new way to measure how well your throat and voice box work during swallowing. It may help doctors better understand swallowing problems and improve care.
This study looks at how smell and taste may change after a new stroke, especially in the first few days. It may help doctors better understand and monitor symptoms related to eating and swallowing after stroke.
This study looks at whether patients who've had a breathing tube for 5+ days are at risk for 'silent aspiration'—when food or liquid accidentally goes into the lungs without the patient coughing. Researchers will use a special camera test to check for this problem early, which could help prevent serious lung infections.
This study tests an AI-guided program to help people who have trouble swallowing (dysphagia) improve their ability to eat and drink safely. The program is designed to work with standard rehabilitation exercises.
This study looks at aspiration (food or liquid going “the wrong way” into the airway) in people who survived a serious ICU breathing problem. It may help doctors better support safe swallowing and breathing recovery after being on a breathing machine.
