Throat residue study aims to prevent unnecessary diet restrictions
NCT ID NCT07278076
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how speech-language pathologists decide whether to restrict a patient's diet based on food residue seen in the throat during a swallowing test (FEES). Sixty therapists will review images of residue and indicate if they would restrict eating. Half will also watch an educational video to see if training changes their decisions. The goal is to identify when diet restrictions are needed and encourage therapists to try other strategies first.
