Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the impact of Active Breathing Exercises 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 Active Breathing Exercises on swallowing function and quality of life in community-dwelling elderly individuals with swallowing disorders. All participants enrolled are required to undergo a continuous three-week (21 days) Active Breathing Exercises, 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 learn about on dysphagia in wallenberg syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are: - the efficacy of motor imagery based on action observation treatment in the rehabilitation of patients with dysphagia in Wallenberg syndrome. - apply functional near infrared spectroscopy to explore the mechanism of action of this therapy. Participants received conventional dysphagia treatment and motor imagery based on action observation treatment once a day for 14 days. Researchers compared the control group to see the effect and mechanism of motor imagery based on action observation treatment.
The proposed study suggests using automatic voice analysis and machine learning algorithms to develop a dysphagia screening tool for neurological patients. The research involves patients with Parkinson's disease, stroke, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, both with and without dysphagia, along with healthy individuals. Participants perform various vocal tasks during a single recording session. Voice signals are analysed and used as input for machine learning classification algorithms. The significance of this study is that oropharyngeal dysphagia, a condition involving swallowing difficulties in the transit of food or liquids from the mouth to the esophagus, generates malnutrition, dehydration, and pneumonia, significantly contributing to management costs and hospitalization durations. Currently, there is a lack of rapid and effective dysphagia screening methods for healthcare personnel, with only expensive invasive tests and clinical scales in use.
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.
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.
Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) includes image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) and also offers further possibilities for plan adaptation. A particularly high benefit can be expected for patients in whom the clinical target volume (CTV) can show a significant change in shape from fraction to fraction due to anatomical deviations. The shape and position constancy of the CTV during the course of the series is examined in this trial. Dosimetric disadvantages of this type have not been reported so far. The aim of this study is to identify patients who benefit from ART at an early stage and to select them for this method, and then to continue to offer ART to this patient group. If a relevant reduction in the minimum planning target volume (PTV) margins with ART compared to IGRT is demonstrated in this study, patients could be treated with ART.
This trial was a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled trial.Thirty patients with post-stroke dysphagia were randomly assigned to the repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS) group (n=15) or sham rTMS group (n=15). Both groups received conventional swallowing rehabilitation, and in addition, the rTMS group received 5hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on the healthy side. Swallowing function was assessed at admission and after two weeks of treatment using the the Standardized Swallowing Assessment (SSA), the Penetration-Aspiration Scale (PAS), the Fiberoptic Endoscopic Dysphagia Severity Scale(FEDSS), the Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS), and the functional near-infrared spectroscopic(fNIRS).
The goal of this observational study is to detect the alteration of cortical activation and functional connectivity during swallowing in patients with Lateral Medullary Syndrome (LMS) dysphagia by functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). The main questions it aims to answer are: - The alteration of cortical activation during swallowing in patients with LMS compared with healthy subjects. - The alteration of cortical functional connectivity during swallowing in patients with LMS compared with healthy subjects. fNIRS will be used to detect cortical activation and functional connectivity during swallowing tasks in LMS patients and healthy subjects, and to compare the differences between patients and healthy subjects.
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 purpose of this study is to M.D. Validity of the Turkish version of the Anderson Dysphagia Inventory for the Turkish population, reliability, and cultural adaptation.
