Read our Stroke research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a smartphone app called DegluApp that combines swallowing exercises and personalized nutrition guidance to help stroke patients recover their ability to swallow. Difficulty swallowing affects up to 80% of stroke patients and can lead to serious complications like malnutrition and pneumonia. Researchers want to see if using this app at home, alongside regular clinical care, can improve recovery better than standard treatment alone.
After a stroke, many patients struggle to swallow safely, which can cause dangerous complications and reduce their quality of life. This treatment uses mobile technology to give patients guidance and support at home, between clinic visits, hoping to improve outcomes and help people recover faster.

You will be randomly assigned to either use the DegluApp smartphone application for swallowing exercises and nutrition guidance, or to receive standard care according to your hospital's usual protocols. If you receive the app, you'll perform guided swallowing rehabilitation exercises at home through the app and follow a personalized nutrition plan designed for you. Throughout the study, you'll be monitored to see how well you recover your ability to swallow compared to the standard care group.
