RECRUITING

Non-standardized vs. Standardized Screening for Dysphagia

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this study is to compare two different screening tests for detecting dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) as well as the risk for aspiration (silent swallowing of liquids/solids into the lungs) in patients after an ischemic stroke (when a blood clot blocks or narrows an artery leading to the brain).

Official Title

Utility of Non-standardized Clinical Swallow Evaluation vs. Standardized Swallow Evaluation to Identify the Presence of Dysphagia and Risk for Aspiration in Patients Post-ischemic Stroke in Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation
