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.

In recent years nmes combined with traditional swallowing therapy has been used to improve functional recovery in patients with post stroke dysphagia. Results eight randomized controlled trials and three quasi. 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 nmes has been used as a therapeutic intervention for dysphagia.

Meng p 1 zhang s 2 wang q 1 wang p 3 han c 1 gao j 4 yue s 5. Evidence was insufficient to indicate that neuromuscular electrical stimulation alone was. However the therapeutic effects of nmes lack supporting evidence. To determine positive effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation nmes in conventional dysphagia therapy on masseter muscle oral dysfunction of patients after subacute stroke.

The grading of recommendations assessment development and evaluation approach was applied to evaluate the quality of evidence. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation nmes has been shown to provide positive effects on the swallowing function in adult populations with various neurological disorders. Purpose to systematically review the literature examining the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation nmes on swallowing and neural activation. Methods among subacute stroke patients who were diagnosed as oropharyngeal dysphagia by videofluoroscopy swallowing study vfss those with oral dysfunction were.

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. 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 investigate the effects of effortful swallowing combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation on hyoid bone movement and swallowing function in stroke patients. The review was conducted as part of a series examining the effects of oral motor exercises omes on speech swallowing and neural activation.

However there is a lack of studies regarding the effects of nmes in children with dysphagia.
