U.S., Oct. 3 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07203508) titled 'Effect of Tongue-to-Palate Resistance Training in Geriatric Patients With Oropharyngeal Dysphagia' on Sept. 17.
Brief Summary: The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to learn if a home-based Tongue-to-Palate Resistance Training (TPRT) program can improve swallowing muscle activity and swallowing safety in geriatric patients (aged >60 years) with oropharyngeal dysphagia. The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Does TPRT increase the electrical activity of the suprahyoid muscles (a key muscle group for swallowing) more than standard care?
2. Does TPRT reduce scores on the Penetration-Aspiration Scale (PAS), a measure of...
