Smart Technology to Help Stroke Patients with Swallowing Problems
Part of Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests a smartphone-based care system designed to help stroke survivors who have difficulty swallowing. The goal is to improve swallowing function and overall health using technology and remote monitoring.
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 have been discharged from the hospital
- Your stroke occurred within the last 3 months
- You have difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) that ranges from mild to moderate-to-severe
- Your vital signs are stable and you are not bedridden or requiring intensive monitoring
- You own a smartphone and can use it to receive care and support
- You plan to live in the local area for at least the next year

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study tests a mobile app that helps people with swallowing problems choose safe foods. It may help you avoid choking and eat more safely at home.
This trial tests a smartphone/tablet digital program meant to help with drooling (sialorrhea) and swallowing problems in people with Parkinson’s disease. If you’re eligible, you’ll use the platform during clinic study visits to see whether it can improve symptoms and safety.
This study tests a wearable device that gives feedback on swallowing exercises. It may improve swallowing safety after a stroke or for people with Parkinson's disease.
This trial tests whether combining two types of brain stimulation (iTBS and NMES) can improve swallowing problems after a stroke. If you have had trouble swallowing for at least two weeks but no longer than six months after your stroke, you may be able to join.
This study tests a new microphone device to see if it can help find swallowing problems in people who have had a stroke. If you are already scheduled for a swallowing test, you may be able to take part.
