Learning program for swallowing difficulties after stroke
Part of Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests an interactive teaching system that helps stroke patients learn about swallowing difficulties (dysphagia). The program uses videos and quizzes to teach you techniques to swallow safely, which might help you recover and avoid complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a more intensive swallow-therapy program for people with difficulty swallowing soon after an ischemic stroke. It may help improve safety and function when eating and drinking.
This trial tests a non-invasive device that stimulates a nerve in the ear to help improve swallowing after a recent stroke. It may be an option if you have moderate swallowing difficulties diagnosed within the first week after your 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 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 a non-invasive brain stimulation method to help people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. It aims to see if this treatment can improve swallowing function during recovery.
