Study Summary

This trial compares two tests to spot dysphagia and aspiration risks after a stroke.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults aged 18-80 who've had an ischemic stroke within the last month and are at Lynn Rehabilitation Center. They must understand English or Spanish, be able to consent (or have a proxy do so), and not have a history of swallowing issues or certain brain injuries.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares two tests for dysphagia after an ischemic stroke: one is a non-standardized clinical evaluation, and the other uses the Mann Assessment of Swallowing Ability. It aims to identify which better detects swallowing difficulties and aspiration risk.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves screening tools rather than medications, there are no direct side effects from interventions. However, discomfort during swallow evaluations may occur.
