[Dysphagia] Dubai Speech Pathologist

I work in acute rehab.

We have found success in all populations with dysphagia using vital
stim. My facility generally sees patients with stroke, brain injury,
dysphagia due to generalized weakness, throat cancer (base of tongue),
parkinson's, MS, GBS...

For inpatients we do the therapy 5x/week, 1 hr session. For outpatients,
we do 3x/week, 1 hr sessions. We always do an MBS prior to the start of
therapy to identify the proper placement of the electrodes. We do about
10-15 sessions of vital stim and then repeat the MBS to identify changes
in the functional swallow. If we are making progress, we continue
another round and repeat again. If we do not see change, we may change
theplacement of the electrodes or alter what we are doing during the
therapy session. Every patient is different. Some patients have
functional improvement after 1 round of therapy (10-15 sessions) and
some take much longer, like 5 rounds of therapy. Almost all of our
patients demonstrate some form of functional change in their swallow
function. We discharge them when they are at the point of having a
functional swallow and requiring no strategies or maybe only a few
strategies or if they are at a point where they are not changing on the
MBS.

Hope this helps.

All the research that I've read about medullary strokes has suggested
time (not treatment)yielded improvement in swallowing function. So, if
e-stim is used to treat dysphagia in this population, how do we know
that improvement is secondary to treatment?

I am curious to know if these successful experiences are intra- or
extra- muscular.  This may be helpful in building a greater
understanding of such a new procedure in the field.
