Trial summary

Swallow and dual-task are a current issue and there are few studies on this subject. These studies have shown that as a result of dual-task interaction, swallowing is affected by attention and cognitive capacity, and dual-task negatively affects swallowing performance. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Investigation of Cognitive-Motor Dual Task and Swallowing Interaction in Healthy Young Adults

Swallow and dual-task are a current issue and there are few studies on this subject. These studies have shown that as a result of dual-task interaction, swallowing is affected by attention and cognitive capacity, and dual-task negatively affects swallowing performance. But, studies include simple cognitive tasks and are not suitable for daily living activities. There is no study that compares all visual, auditory and motor dual tasks during swallowing and considers the effects on liquid, thick and solid foods similar to daily living activities. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of visual, auditory and motor dual-task on swallowing and chewing function in healthy young adults. As a result of the study, the dual-task that has the most impact on swallowing and chewing function will be determined, and visual, auditory and motor performance changes will be revealed as well as swallowing and chewing functions. It is planned that the results obtained will guide the rehabilitation of swallowing disorder with further studies on dual-task exercises.

Read the detailed description

For many years, swallowing was thought of as a simple, reflexive activity controlled by the brainstem. However, studies on the neural control of swallowing have shown that cortical and subcortical structures of the nervous system are included in the neural control of swallowing, and swallowing consists of the pre-swallow phase, the oral preparatory phase, aoral phase, pharyngeal phase, and esophageal phase. And swallow prosses tarting with the perception of food.

Physical and chemical properties of the food, environmental factors, and motor, sensory and cognitive factors belonging to a person are effective in the swallowing process. Swallowing is an integral part of our daily life and we perform it together with other functions in our daily life. For example, while watching TV, in meetings, we continue to swallow/eat or drink. Even if we are not aware of swallowing, performing swallow and other functions at the same time. This situation called as "dual-task". 2 tasks performed at the same time always result in a decrease in the performance of one.

What participants receive

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

  • Observation of visual, audotory and motor reaction timeOther

    Also called Dual Task Assessment

    Visual, auditory and motor reaction time will be measured as a result of the measurements made during the dual task evaluation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Dual Task assessment

    Visual, auditory and motor reaction time will be measured as a result of the measurements made during the dual task evaluation.

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Swallow assessment

    During the dual task task, the dysphagia limit will be determined in liquid and viscous liquids. The maximum amount of water that the person can drink once will be used as the dysphagia limit.

    Measured: 2 days

  3. Chewing Assessment

    Participants will be asked to eat a 3x4 cm biscuit. Biscuit eating time, number of chewing cycles and number of bites will be calculated.

    Measured: 2 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of DUAL TASK and DEGLUTİTİON, run by Atılım University.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jul 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Sena N Begen (+905380929826, sena.begen@atilim.edu.tr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Dual Task assessment (time frame: 1 day). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05452135, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 11 Jul 2022.
