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
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 study tests whether pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMT) can improve swallowing function in people with cervicogenic dysphagia, a swallowing disorder caused by neck problems. Forty adults aged 50-60 with this condition will receive either real or placebo PEMT, along with swallowing exercises, twice a week for eight weeks. Researchers will measure changes in swallowing difficulty and the impact of dysphagia on daily life to see if the magnetic therapy adds benefit beyond exercise alone.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMT) combined with swallowing resistance training exercises
What this could lead to
If effective, this could offer a non-invasive, drug-free way to improve swallowing and reduce the handicap of cervicogenic dysphagia.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The placebo effect and the added exercise program could also influence outcomes.

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.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Individuals diagnosed with cervicogenic dysphagia and cervical spondylosis * Age 50-60 years. * Individuals with a sedentary lifestyle (less than 30 minutes of aerobic activities per day). * Signed the written consent Exclusion Criteria: * Subjects diagnosed with rheumatological disease, cerebrovascular abnormalities * Subjects having a metal implant or previous cervical surgeries. * Subjects having received physical therapy programs for cervical spondylosis or dysphagia within the last 6 months. Subjects with recent infection, cognitive impairments or dementia, cardiovascular instability, head or neck traumatic injuries, neurological disorders affecting swallowing (e.g., parkinsonism, stroke). * Subjects who received medications interfering with normal swallowing function (e.g., antiepileptics, antipsychotics, and antidepressant drugs). * Subjects who refused to provide the signed informed consent.
