Trial summary

The current cervical range of motion (CROM) and tongue movement measurement methods are not reliable between observers, which is not practical in real-world usage. This research is to develop the cervical range of motion measurement, and tongue movement estimation software, to compare between the developed software… Read more about this study

About this study

The current cervical range of motion (CROM) and tongue movement measurement methods are not reliable between observers, which is not practical in real-world usage. This research is to develop the cervical range of motion measurement, and tongue movement estimation software, to compare between the developed software and the current measurement techniques, and to test in clinical aspects for reliability and validity assessment. The investigators investigate the developed software in healthy people in phase 1. In phases 2 and 3, the investigators compare the software to the standard measurement methods in dysphagic patients who have head and neck cancer for reliability and validity.

What participants receive

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

  • Rehabilitation assessment softwareDevice

    In phase 2, this software will be tested in occupational therapists, and head and neck cancer patients results for reliability and validity.

    In phase 3, the experiment in the oropharyngeal dysphagia specialists results in content validity, the comparison between the developed software, and VFSS and FOIS results in criterion-related validity, and the experiment in head and neck cancer patients results in reliability.

  • VFSS and FOISDevice

    In phase 3, this study applies VFSS and FOIS for the head and neck cancer patients for comparison with the developed rehabilitation assessment software for criterion-related validity.

Study groups in NCT05141539
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Rehabilitation assessment softwareExperimentalThis arm applies the developed rehabilitation assessment software by using two web cameras placed in the front and the side of the subject. The subject sits between two cameras. The observer asks the subject to move the head in each direction, to open the mouth, and to move the tongue. The software will measure CROM, mouth opening, and tongue movement.
Receives: Device: Rehabilitation assessment software
video-fluoroscopic swallowing and FOIS.ExperimentalThis arm applies video-fluoroscopic swallowing (VFSS) and functional oral intake scale (FOIS) to measure the direct, dynamic view of oral, pharyngeal, and upper esophageal function during swallowing with food and liquid mixed with barium, and the functional intake of dysphagic patients, respectively.
Receives: Device: Rehabilitation assessment software; Device: VFSS and FOIS

What is being measured

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

  1. Intra-rater reliability between the developed rehabilitation assessment software and the standard CROM measurement method.

    The same investigator will repeat cervical range of motion measurement by using the developed rehabilitation software and the standard cervical range of motion (CROM) measurement method from the goniometer.

    Measured: One hour

  2. Inter-rater reliability between the developed rehabilitation assessment software and the standard CROM measurement method.

    The cervical range of motion (CROM) measurement by using the developed rehabilitation software and the standard CROM measurement method from the goniometer will be repeated by different observers.

    Measured: One hour

  3. Concurrent measurement validity between the developed rehabilitation assessment software and the standard CROM measurement method.

    The correlation of the concurrent cervical range of motion (CROM) measurement outcome at approximately the same time between the developed rehabilitation assessment software and the standard CROM measurement method from the goniometer.

    Measured: One hour

  4. Criterion-related validity between the developed rehabilitation assessment software, and VFSS and FOIS.

    The criterion-related validity of the rehabilitation assessment software will be assessed by the correlation between the cervical range of motion measurement by the developed rehabilitation assessment software and the functional swallowing assessment by videofluoroscopic Swallowing Study (VFSS), and functional oral intake scale (FOIS).

    Measured: One month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Rehabilitation assessment software and VFSS and FOIS in people with Healthy and Head and Neck Cancer, run by Mahidol University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 28 inclusion and 16 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Nov 2024. 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 Thailand. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Intra-rater reliability between the developed rehabilitation assessment software and the standard CROM measurement method. (time frame: One hour). The study lists 4 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 21 Nov 2024.
