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
