Electrical Pharyngeal Stimulation for Dysphagia Therapy in Tracheostomized Stroke Patients

Stroke Clinical Trial

Official title:
A Single-centre, Double Blind, Randomised Controlled Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Effect of Electrical Pharyngeal Stimulation as a Treatment for Stroke-related Dysphagia in Tracheostomized Stroke Patients

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether electrical pharyngeal stimulation in addition to standard care can enhance short-term swallow recovery in tracheostomized dysphagic stroke patients and thereby facilitate earlier decannulation compared to sham treatment plus standard care.

Clinical Trial Description

Readiness for decannulation is assessed after three days of either real or sham electrical pharyngeal stimulation. In case a patient cannot be decannulated at that time point, there is an open-label follow-up treatment phase, in which every patient in the sham treatment arm gets another three days of real electrical pharyngeal stimulation to not deprive any patient of a potentially beneficial treatment. ;

Study Design

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment
