External Pharyngeal Exerciser and Dysphagia
The goal of this a clinical trial is to test the effect of a pharyngeal exerciser in rehabilitation of pharyngeal phase of swallowing in patients with dysphagia. The main question it aims to answer is: •Does application of pharyngeal exerciser improve swallowing as evidenced by need for prescribed intervention for …
Effect of Botulinum Toxin Injection Guided by Ultrasound Combined With Balloon Localization on Cricopharyngeal Achalasia
cricopharyngeal achalasia refers to incomplete or non-open functional opening of the cricopharyngeal muscle, and after repeated swallowing of food, it still cannot pass through the cricopharyngeal muscle, remaining in the epiglottic valley and the piriform fossa, and even regurgitated into the nasal cavity . Neurogenic diseases, myogenic diseases and head …
External Pharyngeal Exerciser and Pharyngeal Phase of Swallowing
This study of healthy young and elderly individuals is intended to assess the effects of pharyngeal exerciser on pharyngeal pressure phenomenon during swallowing. Our specific aim is to test if the pharyngeal exerciser increases the workload of muscles involved in pharyngeal phase of swallowing.
Occupational Therapy Rehabilitation for Frail Elders With Dysphagia
The goal of this proof-of-concept study is to assess the potential of a newly developed intervention with combined skill- and strength-based principles for maximizing swallowing-related outcomes and prevent further weakening of the swallowing muscles in older people with dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). The main questions to be answered are: Does the …
Non-standardized vs. Standardized Screening for Dysphagia
The purpose of this study is to compare two different screening tests for detecting dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) as well as the risk for aspiration (silent swallowing of liquids/solids into the lungs) in patients after an ischemic stroke (when a blood clot blocks or narrows an artery leading to the brain).
Clinical Trial on the Safety and Efficacy of Optimized Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for the Swallowing Function in Patients With Post-Stroke Dysphagia
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether the application of optimized transcranial direct current stimulation is more effective compared to sham stimulation for temporary improvement of swallowing function in patients with post-stroke dysphagia.
Multifunctional Nutrition Tube in Dysphagia for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
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. …
Effect of Myofascial Release on Dysphagia in Stroke Survivors
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore Clinical Effect of Myofascial Release Therapy in Dysphagic Stroke Survivors. The main question it aims to answer is: • Can Myofascial Release Therapy improve swallowing function in Stroke Survivors? Patients will be randomly allocated into the control group or the experimental …
Clinical Trial for Clinical Excellence and Safety Evaluation of 4-channel Functional Electric Stimulator
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 effect by the electric stimulation method …
the Effect of Adult Intubated Patient Clinical Pathway on Post-extubation Complications Prevention
Post- extubation complications delay the complete recovery of critically ill patient. The clinical pathway is one strategies that help to manage and control these complications.
