U.S., March 7 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07455279) titled 'Surface Electromyographic Analysis of Normal Swallowing in Children: An Exploratory Study' on March 02.
Brief Summary: This exploratory clinical trial aims to investigate the mechanism of sequential muscle contractions during normal swallowing processes, including spoon, straw, and cup feeding, in children aged 2 to under 10 years without swallowing disorders. Surface electromyography (sEMG) will be used to evaluate activation patterns of the orbicularis oris, submental, and hyoid muscles during liquid, semi-solid, and solid intake.
The study seeks to characterize the timing, duration, amplitude, and coordination of swallowing-rela...
