Digital Tongue-Pressure Biofeedback Training for Post-Stroke Swallowing

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized, multicenter trial compares digital intelligent tongue-pressure biofeedback resistance training plus standard swallowing rehab versus standard rehab alone in adults with post-stroke dysphagia. The study hopes to see if real-time feedback improves tongue strength and swallowing function. It will enroll about 80 participants, randomly assigning them to intervention or control in a parallel design. The trial is open-label and assesses outcomes related to swallowing and safety during the treatment period.

clusion Criteria:

1. Subarachnoid hemorrhage, transient ischemic attack, progressive stroke, reversible ischemic neurological deficit, or neurodegenerative disease.
2. Unable to complete tongue-pressure measurement or tongue-pressure resistance training, including participants with severe psychiatric disorders, severe cognitive impairment (Mini-Mental State Examination \[MMSE\] score \<18), oral structural abnormalities, or severe oral disease.
3. Known allergy or hypersensitivity to materials used in the study device.
4. Pregnant or breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy during the study period.
5. Participation in another medical device or drug clinical trial within the previous 1 month or current participation in another such trial.
