Scientists use x-rays and sensors to unlock mystery of elderly swallowing disorder
NCT ID NCT07198568
Summary
This study aims to better understand a swallowing disorder in older adults caused by age-related muscle loss, known as sarcopenic dysphagia. Researchers will observe 50 participants aged 65+ using a special video X-ray to watch swallowing in real-time and sensors on the neck to measure muscle activity. The goal is to learn how muscle loss changes the swallowing process to improve future diagnosis and treatment approaches.
