Standardizing Swallow Pressure Measurements
Part of Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study aims to standardize how swallow pressure is measured in people without known swallowing problems. It may help improve future swallowing assessments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must not have any known swallowing disorder
- You must not be allergic to topical anesthetic (numbing medicine)
- You must not have food allergies relevant to the study, like lactose intolerance
- You must be able to follow directions and stay calm during the experiment

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 special probes to measure the movement and pressure in your esophagus (the tube connecting your mouth to your stomach) to better understand swallowing problems like achalasia, GERD, and other conditions. The goal is to improve how doctors diagnose and treat these issues.
This study uses a special thin tube with pressure sensors to measure how you swallow. It may help find the cause of your swallowing problems or reflux symptoms.
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 study looks for noninvasive ways to measure how well your esophagus is moving. It may help doctors better evaluate swallowing and esophagus movement without relying only on invasive testing.
This study compares two ways of checking for swallowing problems (dysphagia) in people who were recently hospitalized for an acute ischemic stroke. If the new screening method works better, it could help catch swallowing issues earlier and improve safety.
