NCT02576470.
Trial name or title | Motor learning in dysphagia rehabilitation |
Methods | Randomised, parallel assignment trial |
Participants | 21 to 100 years with a swallowing problem |
Interventions | Investigating 3 forms of biofeedback for training swallowing manoeuvres or compensatory techniques and pairing with adjuvant techniques ‐ tDCS, TMS, and financial reward. Group 1: VFSS biofeedback Group 2: submental EMG biofeedback Group 3: mixed VFSS and submental EMG biofeedback Group 4: VFSS biofeedback with anodal tDCS and TMS Group 5: submental EMG biofeedback with anodal tDCS and TMS Group 6: mixed VFSS, submental EMG with anodal tDCS and TMS. Group 7: VFSS with sham tDCS Group 8: submental EMG with sham tDCS Group 9: mixed VFSS and submental EMG with sham tDCS Group 10: VFSS with financial reward Group 11: submental EMG with financial reward Group 12: mixed VFSS and submental EMG with financial reward |
Outcomes | PAS, targeted dysphagia training biofeedback using VFSS images, submental EMG measures and both VFSS and submental EMG measures; dysphagia manoeuvres, kinematic analysis, financial reward analysis |
