Filter by:The overall purpose of this project is to develop effective dysphagia rehabilitative interventions for patients with Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias at risk for pneumonia development.
This study will evaluate the gastrointestinal (GI) tolerance, compliance , acceptability and safety of a ready-to-use oral nutritional supplement drink for patients with dysphagia.
Post-operative dysphagia is a significant issue following anterior cervical spine surgery. The investigators are studying the effects of perioperative 3% sodium chloride, given over a period of 24 hours, on post-operative dysphagia. The goal is to reduce the incidence and severity of post-operative dysphagia.
This study will investigate whether silent aspiration during swallowing can reliably be detected using acoustic signal processing plus pulse oximetry.
The Frazier Free Water Protocol (FFWP) using plain, thin (unmodified) water is an accepted method to increase fluid intake and hydration in older adults with disordered swallowing and dementia.This study aims to take an interdisciplinary approach to see if the FFWP with improved oral care can be introduced in a long term care (LTC) setting comparing an intervention group with a control group receiving standard oral care, to prevent respiratory infections.
This study is a pilot study to prepare clinical trials to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of 4-channel electric stimulation therapy devices as a newly developed function for the treatment of dysphagia disorders. The purpose of this study is to investigate the difference in 4ch NMES and 2ch NMES, And to obtain the values such as mean, standard deviation and so on, and to determine the number of subjects to be studied for clinical trials of validation permission in the future.
This study is a confirmation study to prepare clinical trials to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of 4-channel electric stimulation therapy devices as a newly developed function for the treatment of dysphagia disorders. The purpose of this study is to validate the 4ch NMES device.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of conventional speech therapy associated with functional electrical stimulation in patients with dysphagia after ischemic stroke. Included patients will be divided into two groups, where in the intervention group the speech therapy is associated to functional electrical stimulation, and in the control group, the patients will receive the conventional speech therapy with electrical stimulation Placebo with intensity 0hz.
This trial studies how well manual therapy works in treating fibrosis-related late effect dysphagia in head and neck cancer survivors. Manual therapy is the use of massage and stretching exercises to increase blood flow and muscle movement in the neck, throat, jaw, and mouth, which may help to improve swallowing ability and range of motion in participants who have had treatment for head and neck cancer.
In traditional video-fluoroscopic-swallowing study, a lipid-soluble contrast (barium sulfate) has been used more than 30 years. However, it can cause chemical pneumonitis and subsequently impair reliability of video-fluoroscopic-swallowing study if aspirated. The authors reviewed the safety and usefulness of an water soluble agent-based swallowing test.
