Deglutition Disorders clinical trials at University of California Health

4 in progress, 2 open to eligible people

Showing trials for

  • Utilization of Negative Pressure Suction to Reduce Aspiration in Oropharyngeal Dysphagia

    “An ear nose and throat study for people with stomach tubes”

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    This is an investigator initiated prospective study to determine whether the use of a negative pressure suction in the hypopharynx will reduce the amount of aspiration during Video Fluoroscopic Swallowing Exam (VFSE) among patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia.

  • TEE and Dysphagia in Lung Transplantation

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    The primary outcome of this study is dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) on postoperative speech and swallow evaluation following lung transplantation. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) (creates pictures of the heart from inside the participants body) is routinely performed for all lung transplantations at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and it is the standard of care. Patients are randomized to two groups. The intervention group would limit the number of TEE clips (# pictures taken) per case. The control group would leave the number of TEE clips to the discretion of the attending anesthesiologist. The investigators hypothesize that reduction in TEE imaging during lung transplantation will reduce dysphagia.

  • Autologous Muscle Derived Cells for Gastro-Intestinal Repair (AMDC-GIR) for Tongue Dysphagia

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of Autologous Muscle Derived Cells for Gastro-Intestinal Repair (AMDC-GIR) during the 12 months following treatment of tongue dysphagia in male and female patients who have undergone surgery and/or chemo- and/or radiotherapy for squamous cell cancer of the oropharynx.

  • Autologous Muscle Derived Cells for Treatment of Tongue Dysphagia

    “Contribute to discoveries that may improve healthcare for you, your family, and your community by volunteering for research!”

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    The primary objective of this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trial is to evaluate the safety of AMDC-GIR during the 24 months following 2 consecutive treatments of tongue dysphagia in male and female patients who have undergone surgery and/or chemo- and/or radiotherapy for squamous cell cancer of the oropharynx.
