NCT06866418

Brief Summary

A retrospective, open-label, matched-control registry study designed to characterize the effectiveness of Pharyngeal Electrical Stimulation (PES) to improve swallowing in patients with severe dysphagia post stroke when delivered using the Phagenyx® System in real-world clinical settings in hospitals in the United States of America (US).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Swallowing safety

    Swallowing safety based on the change in Penetration Aspiration Scale (PAS) score from baseline (pre-PES treatment) to 2 (+1 days) post PES treatment.

    Baseline to 2 (+1 days) post final PES treatment (Approximately 6 days).

  • Nutritional Management

    Nutritional management improvement based on the change in Functional Oral Intake Score (FOIS) from baseline (pre-PES treatment) to hospital discharge

    Baseline to Hospital Discharge (up to approximately 30 days)

Study Arms (2)

Control Group

Patient requires a nasogastric feeding tube for severe dysphagia and required dysphagia treatment

Treatment Group

Patients who have undergone PES treatment for severe dysphagia.

Device: 1. Phagenyx® System Group Patients

Interventions

Patients who have undergone Pharyngeal Electrical Stimulation (PES) treatment for severe dysphagia using the Phagenyx® System

Treatment Group

Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Up to 600 patients total, comprised of 300 evaluable adult patients with severe dysphagia post stroke will be treated with PES with an additional 300 subjects enrolled as historical controls.

You may qualify if:

  • Phagenyx® System Group Patients: Patients underwent treatment with the Phagenyx® System for a minimum of 3 treatments.
  • Control Group Patients: Patient requires a nasogastric feeding tube for severe dysphagia and required dysphagia treatment.
  • Willing and able to provide appropriate informed consent (if required).

You may not qualify if:

  • Primary endpoint outcome data not collected or not available.
  • In the investigator or sponsor's opinion the patient is not considered suitable.
  • Participation in another interventional study (medicinal or device) that could influence the outcomes of PES.
  • Treatment of dysphagia with other forms of electrical stimulation.
