Oropharyngeal Dysphagia clinical trials at UCSF
1 research study open to eligible people
Oropharyngeal dysphagia means having difficulty swallowing. UCSF is conducting research to find safe ways to help people with this condition. One trial is testing muscle cells taken from the patient's own body to see if they can improve swallowing.
