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.

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 divided into 2 groups. The intervention group is 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 15-20 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.
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.
People who have suffered a stroke are at high risk of suffering from oropharyngeal dysphagia with long and intensive exercise programmes. Early access to treatment and engaging therapies is very important for recovery. Immersive virtual reality technology presents an innovative treatment that could help patients improve swallowing. The aim of this study is to improve swallowing in stroke patients using two bespoke immersive virtual reality treatment with real-time feedback. The study consisted in a small feasibility study with stroke patients suffering dysphagia (n = 6, aged of 39 to 80 (M=71.17, SD=15.94). Results obtained through interviews with the patients indicated no discomfort reported during the game. All patients reported enjoying the game and feeling engaged and immersive and four out of six patients reported that they would like to use it every day as part of their Speech and Language therapy. The SALT assistant involved in the study stated that the system had the potential to encourage patients to swallow, being more functional than conventional speech therapy. She identified improvements needed for a better functioning of the VR rehabilitation system for Dysphagia. In a future study, wireless headsets will be used, without a laptop, and it will be important to improve the reliability and design of the strain gauge or innovate in the use of a different technology.
