Effects Of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation Dysphagia

The effect of surface neuromuscular electrical stimulation on patients with post stroke dysphagia.

Effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation dysphagia.

Methods among subacute stroke patients who were diagnosed as oropharyngeal dysphagia by videofluoroscopy swallowing study vfss those with oral dysfunction were. 1 department of physical medicine and rehabiliation the affiliated hospital of qingdao university qingdao shandong china. Meng p 1 zhang s 2 wang q 1 wang p 3 han c 1 gao j 4 yue s 5. Effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on swallowing and neural activation special interest group 13 swallowing and swallowing disorders dysphagia developed a resource summarizing what is known about the use of electrical stimulation with pediatric populations.

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation has been used to improve swallowing function in neurologic patients with dysphagia but its effect on patients with dysphagia and parkinson s disease remains unclear. This study aimed to identify the effect of effortful swallowing combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation as a novel treatment approach in dysphagic patients. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation nmes has been shown to provide positive effects on the swallowing function in adult populations with various neurological disorders. Swallow treatment with neuromuscular electrical stimulation seems to be more effective than that without neuromuscular electrical stimulation for post stroke dysphagia in the short term considering the limited number of studies available.

Trials and quasi randomized controlled trial were identified which compared the efficacy of neuromuscular electrical stimulation plus traditional therapy with traditional therapy in swallowing function. Results eight randomized controlled trials and three quasi. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation nmes has been used as a therapeutic intervention for dysphagia. However the therapeutic effects of nmes lack supporting evidence.

The grading of recommendations assessment development and evaluation approach was applied to evaluate the quality of evidence. To determine positive effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation nmes in conventional dysphagia therapy on masseter muscle oral dysfunction of patients after subacute stroke. However there is a lack of studies regarding the effects of nmes in children with dysphagia. This study aimed to investigate the effects of effortful swallowing combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation on hyoid bone movement and swallowing function in stroke patients.

Evidence was insufficient to indicate that neuromuscular electrical stimulation alone was.
