Air pulse throat stimulation for swallowing after stroke
Part of Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to help people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. It uses a small air pulse to gently stimulate your throat to see if it can help your brain rewire and improve swallowing.

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 a gentle nerve stimulation treatment for older adults who have trouble swallowing after a recent stroke. The goal is to see if this safe, non-invasive approach can help improve swallowing and make eating and drinking easier.
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 special acupuncture needle called the 'Yanjiu Needle' to see if it helps people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. The trial uses a non-invasive sensor on your skin to check how your swallowing muscles work. If you have had a stroke recently and still have swallowing problems, this treatment might help you eat and drink more safely.
This study tests whether pulsed electromagnetic therapy (a non-invasive treatment using magnetic fields) can help improve chronic swallowing difficulties in older adults who had a stroke. If you've struggled with swallowing for months after a stroke, this therapy may offer a new option to help you eat and drink more safely and comfortably.
