K01 Impacts of Lingual Endurance Exercise
Recruiting
Swallowing impairments (dysphagia) frequently occur after stroke and have devastating consequences on overall health and quality of life, and long-term deficits in swallow function also increase risk of morbidity (e.g. depression) and mortality (i.e. aspiration pneumonia). As such, rehabilitation of swallow function to improve safety and efficiency of swallowing is essential in this population. This study aims to: 1) Provide preliminary data to evaluate the effect of a novel lingual endurance ex... Read More

Frailty and Dysphagia in Older Adults
Recruiting
The purpose of this research study is to figure out if there are physical factors such as cognition level, nutrition status, walking speed, and handgrip strength that are associated with the development of swallowing problems. Investigators want to better understand how swallowing problems develop in older adults with and without frailty. Identifying factors that contribute to swallowing problems, can develop therapies in the future to improve swallowing outcomes for older adults. This study wi... Read More

Corticosteroids for Post-Extubation Dysphagia
Recruiting
This is a placebo-controlled, double-blind randomized trial of a short course of intravenous corticosteroids for Acute Respiratory Failure Survivors with Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) documented laryngeal edema. Study was leveraged using the existing R01 grant infrastructure COMIRB # 21-3873, study design, and research methods. Patients for the study proposed will have already been enrolled in the R01 longitudinal cohort study. The sites to perform this study include Colo... Read More

Combined Respiratory Training in Persons with ALS
Recruiting
The goal of this interventional trial is to learn about lung volume recruitment (LVR) and expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) in a total of up to 39 patients diagnosed with ALS. The following aims will be addressed: 1. Determine the impact of combined LVR and EMST on cough strength and respiratory function in individuals with ALS. 2. Determine the impact of combined LVR and EMST on patient-reported dyspnea and bulbar impairment. 3. Describe the effect of combined LVR and EMST on patient-... Read More

TEE and Dysphagia in Lung Transplantation
Recruiting
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 (# pictur... Read More

Training Swallowing Initiation During Expiration
Recruiting
Head and neck cancers have escalated to epidemic levels in the United States, and survivors are suffering from life-long, devastating swallowing disorders with limited therapeutic options. This clinical trial investigates a novel swallowing treatment that trains initiation of swallowing during the expiratory phase of respiration to improve swallowing safety and efficiency.

Rehabilitation of Airway Protection in Parkinson's Disease
Recruiting
Airway protective disorders are a prevalent and progressive consequence of Parkinson's Disease (PD), and often result in aspiration pneumonia which is the leading cause of death in PD. Despite this, a large number of patients with PD do not access specialized services to address these critical deficits. The investigators will examine the comparative effectiveness of a novel treatment paradigm delivered in-person versus via telehealth in persons with PD, as well as the role of patient burden and...
