Neck scan could predict deadly choking risk after stroke
NCT ID NCT04874454
Summary
This study is testing if a simple, non-invasive ultrasound of the throat can safely identify stroke patients at high risk for choking and pneumonia. Researchers will scan the vocal cords of 200 recent stroke patients and track who develops choking or lung infections over the next year. The goal is to find a better, safer screening tool than current tests that can sometimes cause the very problems they are trying to prevent.
