NCT ID: NCT06014710 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Swallowing Disorders

Modelling of Pharyngeal Laryngeal Effectiveness

Eph-L
Start date: April 14, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to collect the signals of pharyngeal laryngeal activity through five non-invasive sensors (microphone, accelerometer, surface electromyography (EMG), nasal cannula and oximeter) in order to identify indicators of functional efficiency of swallowing, protection of the lower airways and phonation. 440 patients (subjects with swallowing disorders), spread over 4 centers and 80 healthy subjects spread over 2 centers will be recruited for the study in an interventional research study involving the prospective, multicentric and longitudinal. Pharyngolaryngeal effectiveness will be measured from 6 indicators identified by examinations or reference tests grouped into 3 functions: - swallowing: pharyngeal transport capacity (Yale Residue) and Penetration Aspiration Scale (PAS) rated by videofluoroscopy of swallowing (VFS) or flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES); - airway protection: cough trigger (citric acid test) and cough power (peak expiratory flow); - phonation: vocal efficiency (maximum phonation time) and velar efficiency (nasal scores). The signals obtained from the 5 sensors will be annotated. Stochastic modelling based on hidden Markov models will be used initially and followed by the implementation of deep neural networks to model indicators. For the complication's prediction algorithm, deep neural networks will also be used to evaluate signal-based methods. The expected benefits are to obtain automated recognition of pharyngeal-laryngeal effectiveness to diagnose swallowing disorders using objective and quantifiable indicators, non-invasive devices, to assess the severity of these disorders and to identify the risk of complications.

Phase: N/A

NCT ID: NCT04770441 Completed - Achalasia Clinical Trials

Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication in Post-POEM GERD

Start date: March 17, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

POEM (per oral endoscopic myotomy) is effective for the treatment of swallowing disorders but can induce acid reflux. If acid reflux remains untreated in this situation, it can lead to significant problems. Thus, minimizing abnormal acid exposure after POEM is very important. Typically, this is done with acid suppression medications such as Prilosec or Nexium. However, long term acid suppression medication has been linked to possible long-term complications. Transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF) has been approved for the treatment of reflux, but its use in reflux after POEM has not been investigated in detail. We hypothesize TIF will be able to decrease the amount of acid reflux in to the esophagus, thereby allowing patients to remain off of acid suppression medications. Once enrolled into the study, you will undergo the POEM procedure. 3 months after the procedure we will assess for abnormal reflux via questionnaires and diagnostic testing as part of the standard management post POEM. If there is evidence of abnormal reflux, the TIF procedure will be performed. 3 months after the TIF, you will have similar testing again to document resolution in abnormal acid reflux.You will be followed for 12 months as part of the study. If at the 3 month mark, there is no evidence of abnormal reflux, you will neither be placed on PPI nor undergo TIF and will be followed for 12 months to assess for abnormal reflux

NCT ID: NCT04706689 Recruiting - Dysphagia Clinical Trials

Development and Validation of the SWADOC Tool

Start date: July 24, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Background: After a period of coma, patients with severe brain injury may present disorders of consciousness (DOC). A wide proportion of these patients also suffer from severe dysphagia. Assessment and therapy of swallowing disabilities of DOC patients are essential because dysphagia has major functional consequences and comorbidities. Dysphagia evaluation in patients with DOC is hampered by the lack of adapted tools. The first aim of the study was to develop a new tool, the SWallowing Assessment in Disorders Of Consciousness (SWADOC), and propose a validation protocol. The SWADOC tool has been developed to help therapists to apprehend components related to swallowing in patients with DOC. The second aim is to appreciate the relationship between patients' level of consciousness and SWADOC items and scores. Method/design: In this multicentric prospective cohort, 104 patients with DOC will be tested three times during two consecutive days with the SWADOC tool. Statistical analyses will focus on the reliability and validity of the SWADOC tool, especially the intra and inter-rater reliability, internal consistency, measures of dispersion and concurrent validity with the FOTT Swallowing Assessment of Saliva (FOTT-SAS). The level of consciousness will be assessed with the Simplified Evaluation of CONsciousness Disorders (SECONDs) and the Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) Discussion: The assessment of swallowing abilities among patients with DOC is the first necessary step towards the development of an individualized dysphagia care plan. A validated scoring tool will be essential for clinicians to better apprehend dysphagia in DOC patients and to document the evolution of their disorders.

NCT ID: NCT04569097 Recruiting - Dysphagia Clinical Trials

Novel Pharyngeal Metrics to Predict Dysphagia Outcomes

Start date: June 28, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This multi-site trial will follow a cohort of Veterans with dysphagia for 8 weeks as they undergo clinically guided oropharyngeal exercises with oropharyngeal strengthening as the primary goal. Veterans with dysphagia will be assessed at three time points: baseline, 4 weeks after treatment initiation, and 8 weeks after treatment initiation. A non-dysphagic Veteran control group will also undergo data collection at parallel time points, without completion of a treatment paradigm. The investigators will then compare patients to non-dysphagic controls using manometry, videofluoroscopy, diet assessment, functional reserve tests, and patient-reported outcome measures. The investigators aim to 1) quantify change in pressure measures of swallowing function resulting from dysphagia treatment; 2) determine which combination of standard of care and/or pressure-based metrics best track with outcome measures; and 3) develop multimodal prognostic algorithms that predict treatment success. This research will establish a precise outcome measurement paradigm suitable for dysphagia clinical care and research, thus improving clinical confidence and paving the way for a personalized medicine approach for dysphagia rehabilitation in Veterans.

NCT ID: NCT04542551 Completed - Dysphagia Clinical Trials

Pragmatic Approach To Esophageal Dilation

Start date: March 24, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to better understand the role of a technique called esophageal dilation in patients who complain of trouble swallowing. In patients with esophageal stricture we want to determine if the size of the esophageal dilator makes a difference in symptoms and outcomes. In patients who do not have an obvious esophageal stricture we want to determine if esophageal dilation is an effective therapy in these patients.

NCT ID: NCT03219346 Recruiting - Stroke Clinical Trials

The Effectiveness of Oral Health in Improving Dysphagia of Patients After Stroke of Swallowing Function and Oral Health Quality of Life

Start date: July 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The prevalence of chewing dysphagia in the domestic rehabilitation department ward was about 53.61%.Nasal tube retention of about 31%, due to nasogastric tube feeding, often overlooked oral hygiene, easy to cause respiratory tract infection. At the same time, oral hygiene will also affect the effectiveness of swallowing treatment, is worthy of attention to health problems.

NCT ID: NCT02974530 Recruiting - Stroke Clinical Trials

Description and Modeling of Swallowing Disorders After a Stroke

AVC-MODE
Start date: August 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The oropharyngeal junction participates in 3 interpenetrating functions: Swallowing, Breathing and Speech. In the context of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, these are altered, isolated or associated manner, causing major disorders and representing a source of handicap for patients. Understanding the swallowing mechanisms is therefore a major challenge to guide the rehabilitation and improve the initial and long-term prognosis of patients with stroke. The main objective of this study is to describe and modeling, thanks to a clinical, physiological and radiological knowledge base, swallowing, speech and breathing, in patients with stroke and in healthy subjects.
