First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This study tested a new device (DDS) to see if it could accurately detect swallowing problems in 452 adults with conditions like stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, or dementia. The device's results were compared to a standard X-ray test (VFSS). The study was stopped early because the device was not accurate enough to be useful.
