About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Swallowing Kinematics and Suprahyoid Muscle Activation During Masako, Mendelsohn Maneuvers and Mouth Open Swallowing Maneuver

The aim of this study is to swallowing kinematics and suprahyoid muscle activation among Masako, Mendelsohn Maneuvers and new-designed Mouth Open Swallowing Maneuver

Read the detailed description

Swallowing disorder can result in aspiration pneumonia, dehydration, malnutrition and even death. Therefore, it is a condition that needs to be detected, prevented and/or treated at an early stage. In the rehabilitation process of swallowing disorders, many exercise approaches are used, as well as compensatory postures and maneuvers. In addition to creating compensation and increasing swallowing muscle strength, the maneuvers used also change the temporal parameters associated with swallowing, such as delay in the swallowing reflex and time to close the airway.

Mendelson maneuver and Masako maneuver are the most commonly used swallowing maneuvers in swallowing rehabilitation. During the Mendelson maneuver, the patient is asked to voluntarily hold larynx when larynx is elevated. Masako maneuver is swallowing with tongue positioned between anterior teeth. Mouth Open Swallowing Maneuver is new-designed exercise. 10 mm wedge is comfortably positioned on the molar teeth and patient is asked to swallow in this way. We think that the explosive force that occurs more hyolaryngeal displacement than normal swallowing. Therefore, The targets of all three exercises in the swallowing physiology is different. It is important to investigate the effects of all three exercises on swallowing physiology in order to determine a patient-specific rehabilitation program and develop new techniques.

What is being measured

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

  1. Kinematic Analysis

    Participants will be asked to perform three repetitions of dry swallowing (control task), Masako and Mendelsohn maneuvers, and Open mouth swallowing exercise during videofluoroscopic swallow study (30 fps) while recording suprahyoid muscle activation simultaneously.

    Measured: 25 min

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. T-EAT 10 questionnaire

    T-EAT 10 questionnaire will be made to assess whether participants have swallowing complaints.

    Measured: 10 min

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Swallowing Disorder, run by Hacettepe University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 2 inclusion and 4 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 30 Nov 2023. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Kinematic Analysis (time frame: 25 min). 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 NCT05579041, which also lists 5 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 30 Nov 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
