Singing for swallowing: study explores fun therapy for older adults
NCT ID NCT07595315
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to see if singing-based exercises could help older adults with swallowing problems (dysphagia) as much as traditional speech therapy exercises. Researchers planned to measure muscle activity and brain responses during both types of exercises. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
