What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial is testing whether an artificial intelligence (AI) system can personalize a swallowing rehabilitation program for adults with dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). Participants will receive neuromuscular electrical stimulation to swallowing muscles, with parameters chosen either by AI or by standard methods, over a 6-week period. The study will compare changes in swallowing function, aspiration (food or liquid entering the airway), and eating ability. It also aims to see if AI can accurately detect aspiration using sensor data, potentially offering a less invasive alternative to camera-based tests.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) applied to swallowing muscles, with parameters optimized by an AI model
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a more personalized, AI-driven rehabilitation approach that improves swallowing safety and reduces aspiration risk in people with dysphagia.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (30 participants) without a control group, so results may not generalize. The AI's accuracy and the long-term benefit of optimized stimulation remain uncertain.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 30 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Aug 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Dec 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥ 18 years; 2. Diagnosed with dysphagia, confirmed by clinical screening (e.g., abnormal Water Swallow Test) or instrumental assessment (e.g., FEES); 3. Conscious and alert, without severe cognitive impairment, and capable of understanding instructions and cooperating with swallowing function assessments and rehabilitation therapy; 4. Provision of informed consent, with the informed consent form signed by the patient or their legal representative. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Age \< 18 years; 2. Presence of impaired consciousness, coma, or severe cognitive impairment, rendering the patient unable to understand instructions or cooperate with assessments and treatments; 3. Presence of severe psychiatric disorders, behavioral abnormalities, or severe aphasia/hearing impairment, preventing cooperation with swallowing function assessment and therapy; 4. Presence of severe anatomical abnormalities of the upper respiratory or digestive tract (e.g., laryngeal/esophageal tumors, recent major head and neck surgery), which contraindicate FEES or conventional swallowing therapy; 5. Medically unstable conditions (e.g., severe respiratory distress, hemodynamic instability, acute infection phase), rendering the patient unable to tolerate assessments or rehabilitation therapy; 6. Temporary dysphagia caused by acute, reversible factors (e.g., acute alcohol or drug intoxication); 7. Any other conditions deemed by the investigator as inappropriate for participation in this study.
