Effect of Superficial Neuromuscular Stimulation on Ultrasonographic Findings of Oropharyngeal Swallowing in Post-stroke Dysphagic Patients.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating NMES (neuromuscular electrical stimulation) and Exercise for Dysphagia and Stroke. Completed, enrolled 10 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Swallowing disorder in stroke patients is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality as it can cause aspiration pneumonia. Electrical stimulation has proven to be effective in post-stroke dysphagic patients.10 patients who have symptoms of post-stroke dysphagia, meet the inclusion criteria and volunteer to participate will be included in the study. Included patients will be randomized into 2 groups. The exercise program will be applied to both groups as a home program for 4 weeks.
