Lingual Endurance Exercise in Treating Post-Stroke Dysphagia
Effects of Lingual Endurance Exercise on Rehabilitation of Swallowing Impairment After Ischemic Stroke
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 7 May 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Aim 1: Determine feasibility of lingual endurance training for individuals with persistent dysphagia after ischemic stroke. Primary outcome measures: % patient adherence (# of attempted repetitions/# prescribed repetitions) and % dose delivery (# of repetitions meeting goal/# prescribed repetitions). Aim 2: Determine preliminary efficacy of lingual endurance training on improving critical aspects of oropharyngeal swallowing (physiologic impairments, clearance of oropharyngeal residue, airway protection), functional oral intake, and patient reported swallowing quality of life in individuals with persistent dysphagia after ischemic stroke. Primary outcome measures: improvement on videofluoroscopic assessment of swallowing function using the gold standard Modified Barium Swallowing Impairment Profile (MBSImP) Overall Impression (OI) score and Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) score. Secondary outcome measures: Analysis of Swallow Physiology, Events, Timing and Kinematics (ASPEKT); airway invasion - Penetration Aspiration Scale (PAS). Patient reported outcome measures: EAT-10 (Eating Assessment Tool) and the Swallowing Quality of Life Questionnaire (SWAL-QoL).

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- a history of dysphagia prior to or after the stroke caused by any of the following conditions: gastrointestinal disease, traumatic brain injury, head and neck cancer, or a surgical procedure involving the pharynx or larynx
Other illness

- Patients with a history of Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ) or Epilepsy
Other
- Pregnant women
Who the study is looking for
