Ultrasound may reveal hidden clues to swallowing trouble after stroke
NCT ID NCT06615310
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether ultrasound can help evaluate swallowing difficulties in people who have had a stroke. Researchers will measure the size and movement of throat muscles in 52 stroke patients with swallowing problems. The goal is to see if these ultrasound measurements relate to how severe the swallowing issue is.
