Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults aged 18-99 who have had an ischemic stroke and are experiencing acute swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) as a result. Participants must be able to follow simple instructions for swallowing therapy. It's not suitable for those under 18 or over 100, with other types of strokes, previous dysphagia, or advanced progressive neurological diseases.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing high intensity dysphagia therapy to establish a standardized treatment protocol that could improve recovery from swallowing disorders following an ischemic stroke.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While the specific side effects are not detailed here, high intensity therapies can sometimes lead to fatigue or discomfort in the affected muscles due to the rigorous nature of exercises involved.
