About this study

Official title: A Double-blind, Parallel Compensatory Medical Device Pivotal Clinical Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of the 4 Channel Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES), Pilot Study

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 and to obtain the values such as mean, standard deviation and so on, and to determine the number of subjects to be studied for clinical trials of validation permission in the future.

Read the detailed description
  • Design: Prospective study
  • Inclusion criteria of patient group: who has a dysphagia symptom and confirmed by video-fluoroscopic swallowing study(N=9)
  • Intervention: Participants are divided into two group and applied electrical stimulation by a "Synchronized Electrical Stimulation Device(SESD)" in different protocol
  • Main outcome measures: high-resolution manometry(HRM) parameters, videofluoroscopic parameters, EQ-5D (EuroQoL-5D) questionnaire

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • 4 channel Electrical Stimulation DeviceDevice

    electrical stimulation at muscles which related with deglutition

Study groups in NCT03664479
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
classical electrical stimulation protocolExperimental* apply 4 channel electrical stimulation device with protocol 1. * It will simultaneously stimulate suprahyoid, thyrohyoid and sternothyroid m with 4 channel electrical stimulation device. * during apply the device, we evaluate the manometry and videofluoroscopic swallowing study for evaluation of deglutition function.
Receives: Device: 4 channel Electrical Stimulation Device
revised sequential activation protocolExperimental* apply 4 channel electrical stimulation device with protocol 2 * Is a revised sequential activation protocol, it sequentially stimulate bilateral suprahyoid m (channel 1), pharyngeal constrictors (ch 2), thyrohyoid m (ch 3), sternothyroid m (ch 4) with 4 channel electrical stimulation device. * during apply the synchronized electrical stimulation device, we will evaluate the parameters same as group 1.
Receives: Device: 4 channel Electrical Stimulation Device

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. pressure change

    Measured: baseline/ change from baseline when electrical stimulation applied(the object of this study is to know the temporary change of dysphagia when stimulating with 4ch NMES.)

  2. videofluoroscopic dysphagia scale

    total score 100 from 0, 100 is worst outcome

    Measured: baseline/ change from baseline when electrical stimulation applied(the object of this study is to know the temporary change of dysphagia when stimulating with 4ch NMES.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 4 channel Electrical Stimulation Device in people with Dysphagia, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: collected data showed significant difference in two groups.). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

pressure change (time frame: baseline/ change from baseline when electrical stimulation applied(the object of this study is to know the temporary change of dysphagia when stimulating with 4ch NMES.)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Sep 2018.
