Swallowing exercises with visual feedback after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether special swallowing exercises with a visual feedback tool can help people who have trouble swallowing after a recent stroke. If you've had a stroke in the last 6 months and have trouble swallowing, this may help you regain strength.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 or older and have had a stroke in the last 6 months.

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 trial tests two new exercises for people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. If you had a stroke within the last six months and haven't tried swallowing therapy before, this may help you regain strength in your throat muscles.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation technique on neck muscles can help improve swallowing in people who recently had a stroke. It may be a good option if you are still having trouble swallowing after your stroke.
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.
This trial studies whether a specific oral training program can improve swallowing after a stroke. It’s mainly for people whose swallowing trouble has lasted for several weeks after their stroke.
This study tests if a special tongue exercise can help improve swallowing for people who recently had a stroke. It's designed for those still having trouble swallowing after their stroke.
