DYSPHAGIA

This study looks at how well people with swallowing problems tolerate and accept a new ready-to-drink nutritional shake. About 40 adults who need extra calories from a thick drink will try it for up to 4 weeks. Researchers will track stomach comfort, how much they drink, and over…

This study explores whether electrical and magnetic recordings from the outside of the body can diagnose swallowing problems like achalasia. Researchers will compare these new methods to standard tube-based tests in 90 adults. If successful, it could lead to a more comfortable wa…

This study tests if gentle electrical stimulation on neck muscles can improve swallowing in people who recently had a stroke. Forty participants will receive either standard swallowing therapy or therapy plus different types of electrical stimulation. The goal is to see if the st…

This study looks at two ways to help children aged 1 to 10 years who have trouble swallowing due to a laryngeal cleft. One method injects a gel into the airway, the other uses stitches. The goal is to see which works better at stopping food and liquid from going into the lungs. A…

This study tests whether manual therapy—gentle massage and stretching of the neck, throat, and jaw—can improve swallowing and movement in head and neck cancer survivors who have long-term swallowing problems due to tissue scarring. About 24 participants will attend 10 therapy ses…

This study aims to translate and validate the Munich Swallowing Score (MUCSS) for Italian-speaking patients with swallowing problems caused by neurological conditions like stroke or Parkinson's disease. Researchers will test the tool on 100 adults to see if it accurately measures…

This study aimed to see if singing-based exercises could be as effective as traditional speech therapy for older adults with swallowing problems. Researchers planned to measure muscle and brain activity during both types of exercises. However, the study was withdrawn before enrol…

This study follows 347 heart surgery patients to find out why some develop swallowing problems (dysphagia) and how to spot them early. Researchers will create simple tools to predict risk and detect signs at the bedside. The goal is to improve care and prevent complications after…
