This study is testing a detailed new diagnostic method to better understand swallowing problems, chronic cough, and throat reflux. Researchers will use specialized monitoring equipment on 160 adult participants who have these symptoms. The goal is to find problems that standard t…

This study is testing whether using ultrasound during common office procedures for throat, voice, and swallowing problems is helpful and practical. It will involve 200 adults who are already scheduled for procedures like nerve blocks for cough or injections for weak vocal cords. …

This study aims to test a new, non-invasive wearable sensor that sticks to the neck to monitor swallowing muscle activity. It will involve 20 healthy adults and 20 people with swallowing difficulties (dysphagia). The goal is to see if this comfortable sensor can work as well as c…

This study aims to understand how well a procedure called endoscopy works to find the causes of digestive problems in children. Doctors will look inside the digestive systems of 150 children at Assiut University Children Hospital who have symptoms like ongoing diarrhea, vomiting,…

This study is testing whether a simple swallowing training program can help older adults with mild swallowing difficulties. Researchers want to see if the exercises improve swallowing safety, reduce daily choking incidents, and enhance quality of life. The study will involve near…

This study is testing whether gentle electrical stimulation of the ear can help stroke patients over 70 years old regain their ability to swallow safely. Participants will receive standard speech therapy combined with either a real or fake stimulation device for three weeks. Rese…

This study tests three different ways to manage the pressure in the breathing tube used during breast surgery anesthesia. Researchers want to see which method best prevents common post-surgery throat problems like soreness, hoarseness, and trouble swallowing. The trial will invol…

This study aims to find out if one type of feeding tube helps stroke patients recover their swallowing ability faster and better than another common type. It will involve 422 adults who have had a recent stroke and need a feeding tube because they have trouble swallowing. Researc…

This study aims to find out if a handheld mouth-training device called IQoro can improve swallowing problems in people who have had a stroke. One hundred participants will be randomly assigned to either use the device along with their usual care or to receive only their usual car…
