Filter by:The goal of this study is to determine which position, maneuvers or combination thereof generates the highest pressure at the EGJ as assessed by high-resolution esophageal manometry and thus greater or more robust contraction of the diaphragm.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore Clinical Effect of Myofascial Release Therapy in Dysphagic Stroke Survivors. The main question it aims to answer is: • Can Myofascial Release Therapy improve swallowing function in Stroke Survivors? Patients will be randomly allocated into the control group or the experimental group, all under rehabilitation treatment, the experimental group will be given Myofascial Release Therapy. The study lasts 21 days for each patient. Researchers will compare the Functional Oral Intake Scale, Penetration-Aspiration Scale, Swallowing Quality of Life to see if the Myofascial Release Therapy can help improve the situation.
Baseline information (demographics, medical history, etc.), nutritional status at admission and after treatment, depression, dysphagia, and quality of life (QOL) after treatment as well as adverse events are compared. Palliation to delayed dysphagia after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) continues to be a challenge. Although nasogastric tube feeding (NGT) has been adopted widely, the weaknesses have yet to be improved by another enteral nutrition support mode. This study aims to observe the clinical efficacy of intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding (IOE) in the treatment of delayed dysphagia after radiotherapy for (NPC). This is a prospective multicenter study with patients with delayed dysphagia after radiotherapy for NPC. Patients enrolled are randomly divided equally into the observation group and the control group. All patients receive conventional care, and the observation group received IOE while the control group received NGT for enteral nutrition support.
This is a multicenter randomized controlled study. The study recruited stroke patients with mild cognitive impairment and dysphagia who were undergoing inpatient rehabilitation treatment in three hospitals in mainland China as the participants (study subjects). The study duration for each participant was 15 days. The subjects were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. During the treatment, all patients received routine rehabilitation treatment. In addition, patients in the control group received conventional cognitive training, while patients in the experimental group received computer-assisted cognitive training.
This is a randomized controlled study, including post-stroke dysphagic patients. The participants were divided randomly into the experimental group and the control group. Both two groups were given routine treatment and swallowing rehabilitation training. Moreover, the experimental group was given Acupuncture Technique for Restoring Consciousness. Swallowing function will be compared before and after treatment.
This research study is investigating whether people with Alzheimer's disease experience more changes to voice and swallowing than their healthy age-matched peers. The prevalence of swallowing impairments in moderate-severe Alzheimer's Disease is high (85-93%) and voice is also often negatively impacted by Alzheimer's disease. The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the voice and swallowing function of adults with and without Alzheimer's disease. The investigators will also be involving the primary caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's that are enrolled in the study to better understand the impact of voice and swallowing impairments on the primary caregivers of those with Alzheimer's Disease. Healthy adults and individuals with Alzheimer's disease will: - undergo tests of cough, voice, and swallow function - undergo tests of grip and tongue strength - complete questionnaires Caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease will also complete questionnaires.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the impact of Myofascial Release Training on swallowing function and quality of life in community-dwelling elderly individuals (≥60 year old) with swallowing disorders. It primarily aims to address the effects of Myofascial Release Training on swallowing function and quality of life in community-dwelling elderly individuals with swallowing disorders. All participants are required to undergo a continuous three-week (21 days) Myofascial Release Training, with weekends off and training conducted only on weekdays. The training will be conducted two sessions per day, lasting 15-30 minutes each.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the impact of systematic simple swallowing training on swallowing function and quality of life in community-dwelling elderly individuals (≥60 year old) with swallowing disorders. It primarily aims to address two key aspects: 1) the prevalence of dysphagia among community-dwelling elderly individuals, and 2) the effects of systematic simple swallowing training on swallowing function and quality of life in community-dwelling elderly individuals with swallowing disorders. All participants are required to undergo a continuous three-week (21 days) systematic simple swallowing training, with weekends off and training conducted only on weekdays. The training will be conducted two sessions per day, lasting 15-30 minutes each.

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore Clinical Effect of Glossopharyngeal Nerve Block on Pharyngeal Dysphagia Induced by Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. The main question it aims to answer is: • Can Glossopharyngeal Nerve Block improve dysphagia caused by gastroesophageal reflux symptoms on the basis of rehabilitation training? Participants will be randomly allocated into the control group or the experimental group, all under rehabilitation treatment, the experimental group will be given Glossopharyngeal Nerve Block once a day additionally. The study lasts 20 days for each participant. Researchers will compare the Rosenbek penetration-aspiration scale, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire, Pressure pain threshold, to see if the Glossopharyngeal Nerve Block can help improve the symptom.
