Smartphone care to improve swallowing after stroke
Part of Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests a smartphone-based program that supports stroke patients with swallowing problems to improve their health and recovery. If you join, you'll get help and monitoring through your phone for up to a year.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke caused by a blood clot (ischemic stroke), and you were discharged from the hospital.
- It has been 3 months or less since your stroke.
- You have trouble swallowing, and a test has rated it as mild to moderate (grades 1–5 on a specific scale).
- Your health is stable, you can leave bed, and you don't have a lung infection from inhaling food or drink.
