Medication Intake of Solid Dosage Forms: A Risk Factor for Patients With Stroke-induced Dysphagia?
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Solid Medication intake vs. crushed medication intake for Cerebral Infarction and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
In a prospective, quantitative explorative study, the risk of aspiration and penetration when swallowing solid pills (placebo) compared to a crushed placebo pill will be evaluated during a routine Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES). The study design is thus a quasi-experimental study design with repeated measurements in the sense of a pre-posttest. Each patient undergoes a baseline examination (routine procedure) followed by the intervention (administration of three different solid pills and a crushed pill).
