This study is looking at how well the Phagenyx® System helps people with severe dysphagia (swallowing difficulties) after a stroke. The Phagenyx® System uses Pharyngeal Electrical Stimulation (PES) to improve swallowing. Researchers will compare patients who received at least three treatments with the Phagenyx® System to a group of similar patients who received standard care without PES. The study aims to see if the Phagenyx® System improves swallowing safety and helps with nutritional management. This is an observational study, meaning researchers are watching what happens in real-world settings. They plan to include about 600 participants. To join, you must have severe dysphagia and either have received Phagenyx® treatment or require a feeding tube and dysphagia treatment. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.

Study design

This is an observational study comparing patients who received Pharyngeal Electrical Stimulation (PES) with the Phagenyx® System to a control group who received standard care. It is an open-label study, meaning both patients and researchers know who is receiving which treatment, and plans to include about 600 participants.

What's involved

Not specified in the trial record.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Swallowing safety will be measured from the start of the study to about 2 days after the final PES treatment. Nutritional management will be measured from the start of the study until hospital discharge, up to about 30 days.
