Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether pharyngeal electrical stimulation in addition to standard care can enhance swallowing recovery in severely dysphagic stroke patients post extubation compared to sham treatment plus standard care.

Intervention

Device:
Phagenyx-Catheter, Phagenesis Limited, UK.
Pharyngeal electrical stimulation via an intraluminal catheter (Phagenesis Ltd.) once daily for 10 minutes on three consecutive days. The intensity of the electrical stimulation is determined following the calculation of suitable sensory threshold, tailored to the individual patients. After determining the optimal stimulation intensity, 10 minutes of stimulation are delivered.
Sham stimulation
The intraluminal catheter (Phagenesis Ltd.) for pharyngeal electrical stimulation is placed. In the sham group the optimisation procedure was imitated as closely as possible to mitigate any bias or effect of time spent interacting with the patient during PES, but no current was applied. After this procedure 10 min of sham stimulation were delivered.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Reintubation rate Need for reintubation within 120 hours from extubation 120 hours
Primary Pneumonia rate Incidence of aspiration pneumonia within 120 hours from extubation 120 hours
Secondary Length of stay Length of stay on the intensive care unit Participants will be followed for the duration of stay on the intensive care unit, an expected average of 3 weeks
Secondary Time until oral nutrition Time span from extubation until consumption of an completely oral diet is safely possible Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 4 weeks
Secondary PEG tube placement Number of participants needing percutaneous endogastric tube placement due to persistent severe dysphagia Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 5 weeks.
Secondary Swallowing function Salient semiquantitative parameters of swallowing function (leaking, penetration, aspiration, residues, delayed triggering of swallow reflex) as assessed by a standardized fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation protocol after three days of treatment after 3 days of treatment
