Effects Of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation Dysphagia

However the therapeutic effects of nmes lack supporting evidence.

Effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation dysphagia.

Meng p 1 zhang s 2 wang q 1 wang p 3 han c 1 gao j 4 yue s 5. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation nmes has been used as a therapeutic intervention for dysphagia. The effect of surface neuromuscular electrical stimulation on patients with post stroke dysphagia. The grading of recommendations assessment development and evaluation approach was applied to evaluate the quality of evidence.

In recent years nmes combined with traditional swallowing therapy has been used to improve functional recovery in patients with post stroke dysphagia. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation nmes has been shown to provide positive effects on the swallowing function in adult populations with various neurological disorders. 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. The review was conducted as part of a series examining the effects of oral motor exercises omes on speech swallowing and neural activation.

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. This study aimed to identify the effect of effortful swallowing combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation as a novel treatment approach in dysphagic patients. 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.

1 department of physical medicine and rehabiliation the affiliated hospital of qingdao university qingdao shandong china. 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. Results eight randomized controlled trials and three quasi. Purpose to systematically review the literature examining the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation nmes on swallowing and neural activation.

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.
