ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how difficulties with swallowing, known as dysphagia, relate to the strength of the muscles involved in swallowing. Researchers will use a special test called high-resolution pharyngeal manometry with impedance, which helps measure how well these muscles work. The goal is to better understand the connection between swallowing symptoms and muscle function, which could improve treatment options for people with swallowing issues.

To be part of the study, participants should be between 20 and 80 years old and not have certain health conditions, such as bleeding disorders, heart failure, or chronic kidney disease. While the trial is not yet recruiting participants, those who join can expect to undergo tests that will help researchers gather important information about swallowing difficulties. This research is crucial as it may lead to better ways to assess and treat swallowing problems in the future.
