About this study

Official title: Effect of Early Progressive Resistance Swallowing Training on Swallowing Related Muscle Strength in Patients With Tracheotomy

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn investigate the effect of instrument-assisted early progressive resistance swallowing training on swallowing related muscle strength in critically ill patients. It will also learn about the safety of swallowing training. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Does instrument-assisted early progressive resistance swallowing training increase the swallowing related muscle strength in critically ill patients?
  • What medical problems do participants have when taking swallowing training?
Read more

Researchers will compare instrument-assisted early progressive resistance swallowing training to pure effortful swallowing to see if instrument-assisted early progressive resistance swallowing training works to increase muscle strength.

Participants will:

-Take instrument-assisted early progressive resistance swallowing training or pure effortful swallowing every day for 2 weeks and take muscle strength test every week.

Being tested
pure effortful swallowing, progressive resistance swallowing training

What participants receive

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

  • pure effortful swallowingOther

    The investigator instructed the patient to "swallow forcefully while squeezing the tongue upward and backward in the direction of the soft palate" based on the sounds of an electronic timer.

  • progressive resistance swallowing trainingOther

    Patients in the test group, resistance swallowing exercise was performed by providing external resistance through Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI), and all other protocols were performed the same as those in the control group.

What is being measured

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

  1. Forced swallowing tongue pressure

    Place the pressure balloon on the prelingual pressure measurement site. The examiner placed the water in the participant 's mouth using a disposable 3 mL syringe. Subjects held 3 mL of water in their mouth and swallowed as forcefully as possible as directed by the examiner to observe instrument readings.

    Measured: Day 14 after training

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing pure effortful swallowing and progressive resistance swallowing training in people with Swallowing Training on Muscle Strength, run by Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital.

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 3 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Apr 2024. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Forced swallowing tongue pressure (time frame: Day 14 after training). 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 18 Apr 2024.
