Study summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an interactive dysphagia education system can improve swallowing outcomes and quality of life in patients with post-stroke dysphagia. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the interactive dysphagia education system improve swallowing outcomes? Does the interactive dysphagia education system improve quality of life? Researchers will compare the interactive dysphagia education system plus routine dysphagia education with routine dysphagia education alone to see if the interactive system provides additional benefits.

Participants will:

Receive either interactive dysphagia education plus routine education or routine education alone Use the interactive dysphagia education system at the bedside for 48 hours if assigned to the interactive education group Complete assessments of swallowing outcomes and quality of life

Read the detailed description

Stroke is a common cause of dysphagia, which may affect swallowing function, nutritional intake, and quality of life. Patient education and swallowing training are important components of dysphagia care. However, routine inpatient education may be limited by patients' physical condition, learning pace, and opportunities to review educational content.

This study will evaluate an interactive dysphagia education system designed for patients with post-stroke dysphagia. The system provides interactive educational content related to dysphagia and swallowing training and allows patients to review the content according to their individual needs.

A total of 100 participants will be assigned to either an interactive dysphagia education group (n = 50) or a routine education group (n = 50).

Participants in the interactive dysphagia education group will receive routine inpatient dysphagia education plus the interactive dysphagia education system. Research staff will provide approximately 15-20 minutes of instruction on how to use the system. The system will then be placed at the participant's bedside and made available for 48 hours. The educational program takes approximately 25 minutes to complete. Participants may use the system according to their physical condition and preferred schedule and may review the educational content multiple times during the intervention period.

Participants in the routine education group will receive routine inpatient dysphagia education and printed educational materials.

The study will compare changes between the two groups to determine whether adding the interactive dysphagia education system to routine education improves swallowing-related outcomes and quality of life in patients with post-stroke dysphagia.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Swallowing Status Assessed by the Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT-10)

    Swallowing status will be assessed using the Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT-10), a 10-item patient-reported questionnaire designed to assess swallowing difficulties. Each item is rated from 0 (no problem) to 4 (severe problem), resulting in a total score ranging from 0 to 40. Higher total scores indicate greater perceived swallowing difficulties.

    Time frame: Baseline and 7 days after the intervention

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Sep 2026; primary completion for Jun 2027, 9 months later.

Of 288 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Deglutition Disorders, half reached primary completion within 21 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 39. This study's planned 9 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 297 studies reached it within 21 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 38.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 9, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
