Deglutition Disorders clinical trials
The registry lists 871 studies for Deglutition Disorders across more than 10 countries. 237 are recruiting or about to start. 523 of them are mainly about Deglutition Disorders (how this is decided). Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-11-10. Counting its 7 narrower conditions too, such as Gastroesophageal Reflux: 2,278 studies, 488 open.
ClinicalTrials.gov finds 2,455 studies for Deglutition Disorders. How that becomes 870 here
This page counts the studies the registry files under Deglutition Disorders, and those it files under no condition that list Deglutition Disordersthemselves. Each study its search finds is placed by how the registry filed it and by the conditions it lists. ClinicalTrials.gov counts as of Nov 8, 2026. How condition pages count
- 2,455Found by its condition searchIt reads the conditions a study lists and their synonyms, and also titles and keywords.

- −13List Deglutition Disorders as a condition, but the registry did not file them under itMost often written as “Swallowing Disorder.Other Specified” (2), “Neurological Dysphagia” (1), and “Malignant Dysphagia” (1). The registry filed them under other conditions only, most often Ischemic Stroke (3) and Pneumonia (1).

How long Deglutition Disorders studies take
Of 297 interventional studies with no phase under Deglutition Disorders, half reached primary completion within 21 months of starting, counting those still running.
| Start to primary completion | Every sponsor | Industry | Non-industry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interventional, no phase | 21 mo10–38 · 297 studies | — | 21 mo10–39 · 288 studies |
| Observational | 25 mo11–49 · 120 studies | — | 25 mo11–52 · 117 studies |
Each figure is the month by which half the studies had reached primary completion, with the range in which the middle half did. Studies still running count until their last registry update; studies that stopped early are left out. Phase 1 includes early phase 1; observational means prospective or not stated, as retrospective and cross-sectional studies date a window of data rather than a study. How these figures are worked out
