Measuring normal swallowing in Chinese adults
Part of Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study measures healthy swallowing using a thin tube with sensors placed through the nose into the throat. It helps doctors understand what normal swallowing looks like in Chinese adults, which may improve future swallowing tests and treatments.
