ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on understanding swallowing difficulties in patients with cervical spondylosis, a condition that affects the neck and can lead to problems when eating or swallowing. The study will use a special test called high resolution impedance manometry, which helps to measure how well the throat muscles work during swallowing. By gathering this information, researchers hope to learn more about the specific challenges these patients face.

To be eligible for this study, participants should have cervical spondylosis and experience related swallowing difficulties. They may also be expected to have surgery on their cervical spine. However, individuals with serious health issues, such as problems with their kidneys or a tendency to bleed easily, will not be included. If you join this trial, you can expect to undergo a detailed assessment of your swallowing function, which could help improve understanding and treatment of swallowing problems in the future.
