SwallowFIT Study in Parkinson's Disease (NCT07356414)
"SwallowFit," an Exercise Program and Randomized Clinical Trial Designed for US Service Members, Veterans, and Families Affected by Parkinson's Disease.
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a proactive swallow exercise will help to improve swallow fitness in patients with Parkinson's disease. The aim of the study is to assess how effective this exercise is and to measure the change in swallowing fitness from the beginning to the end of the study. Patients who are given the exercise training will be compared to participants who are treated using the usual standard treatment. Patients will have 6 weeks of twice-weekly SwallowFIT training. Each session will be an hour long.
