This study tests a tongue-strengthening exercise to help improve swallowing after a recent stroke. It may help patients who are having trouble swallowing safely.
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 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 whether a swallowing therapy program (CTAR) combined with a pressure ball exercise helps older adults who had a stroke recover their ability to swallow safely. Many stroke survivors struggle with swallowing, which can lead to serious health problems, so this research aims to find better ways to help.
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 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.
