U.S., Oct. 1 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07198568) titled 'Relationship Between Swallowing Dynamics and Suprahyoid Muscle Activity in Sarcopenic Dysphagia' on Sept. 15.
Brief Summary: Sarcopenic dysphagia is defined as swallowing difficulty among the elderly due to the loss of whole body skeletal and swallowing muscle mass and function. However, the pathophysiology and dynamics of swallowing in sarcopenic dysphagia have been poorly investigated. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the characteristics of sarcopenic dysphagia using the Videofluoroscopic study (VFSS) focusing on each phase of dysphagia, and surface Electromyography (surface EMG) to assess suprahyoid muscle activity...
