Studying swallowing with muscle sensors in healthy kids
This study uses sensors on the skin to measure muscle activity during swallowing in children. It aims to understand normal swallowing patterns, which could help doctors identify swallowing problems in other children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 2 and 10 years old.
- Your child does not have a swallowing disorder (dysphagia).
- Your child does not have a brain condition or breathing problem present at birth.
- You are willing to provide written consent for your child to take part.
- Your child does not refuse to do the study procedures or assessments.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study measures how well you speak and swallow using simple tests. Researchers want to understand the connection between speech patterns and swallowing ability to help diagnose swallowing problems early.
This trial is testing a non-invasive device that monitors swallowing in healthy people and those with swallowing problems (dysphagia). It may help understand who has swallowing difficulties and how to monitor them safely.
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 tests a new way to measure and improve swallowing using a thin tube with pressure sensors placed in the throat. It is for healthy adults without swallowing problems to see if this technique can help people learn to swallow better.
This trial studies how swallowing problems (dysphagia) relate to the muscles used for swallowing. It uses a special tool called HRPM-I to measure muscle activity, which may help doctors better understand and treat swallowing difficulties.
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.
