[Dysphagia] Dysphagia Digest, Vol 39, Issue 31
Dysphagia Vol 22 #1 1/07 pp1-10. There is also an invited editorial from Dr. Logemann on pp11-12. The previous NIH study used electrodes inserted into the muscle. For this study they used surface electrodes and followed the Vital Stim protocol. This study reaffirmed that with stimulation the hyoid went down rather than up.

Here's an abstract of a recently published article in the Dysphagia Journal that found VitalStim no more effective than other tx methods. I have so far seen no credible evidence of the effectiveness of Vital Stim. Can you provide the citation for the article you saw? Thanks.

Abstract This study compares the outcomes using VitalStim? therapy to outcomes using traditional swallowing therapy for deglutition disorders. Twenty-two patients had an initial and a followup videofluoroscopic swallowing study or fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing and were divided into an experimental group that received VitalStim treatments and a control group that received traditional swallowing therapy. Outcomes were analyzed for changes in oral and pharyngeal phase dysphagia severity, dietary consistency restrictions, and progression from nonoral to oral intake. Results of ?2 analysis showed no statistically significant difference in outcomes between the experimental and control groups.
