Can simple tongue presses help ALS patients swallow and speak?

NCT ID NCT07295990

Summary

This study is testing a 5-week tongue exercise program to see if it can help people with ALS swallow more safely and speak more clearly. All 20 participants will do the exercises at home and have weekly video check-ins with a speech therapist. Researchers will measure changes in tongue strength and swallowing safety to see if the program is helpful and practical.
