Cortical Function Changes During Swallowing in Patients With Dysphagia in Lateral Medullary Syndrome

Study on swallowing difficulties in patients with Lateral Medullary Syndrome.

  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

This study looks at how the brain works during swallowing in people with a condition called Lateral Medullary Syndrome (LMS) who have trouble swallowing, known as dysphagia. We use a special tool called functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), which shines light into the brain to see activity and connections. The study compares people with LMS to healthy individuals.

Key Points:

  • Duration and Visits: The study involves non-invasive fNIRS testing sessions.
  • Eligibility: Participants must be 18-80 years old, right-handed, and have had a first stroke confirmed by MRI as LMS.
  • Risks: There are no significant risks, as fNIRS is a safe and non-invasive technique.

If you're between 18-80 years old, right-handed, had a stroke confirmed as LMS, and have dysphagia, you may qualify. People with other nervous or mental illnesses, other swallowing disorders, or serious illnesses are not eligible. The goal is to compare brain activity during swallowing between those with LMS and healthy people. This study helps us understand more about swallowing difficulties in LMS.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
