Evaluating choking risk in stroke patients using laryngeal ultrasound

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 study assesses vocal cord movement in patients who have experienced an acute stroke using non-invasive laryngeal ultrasound. It aims to identify the risk of choking and aspiration pneumonia by monitoring these patients over the course of one year following their stroke. Current evaluation methods for swallowing function have limitations, and this study seeks to provide a safer alternative to traditional tests that may increase aspiration risk. By utilizing ultrasound, the researchers hope to improve the assessment of swallowing function in stroke patients.
