Swallow sensor trial halted after failing to match gold standard

NCT ID NCT03387267

Summary

This study tested a new device called the Dysphagia Detection System (DDS), which is a small sensor worn on the neck. Researchers wanted to see if it could accurately detect unsafe or inefficient swallowing in people with conditions like stroke, Parkinson's, and dementia, compared to the standard X-ray test. The trial was stopped early because the device's performance did not meet the goals needed to continue.
