The effects of surface neuromuscular electrical stimulation on post-stroke dysphagia: A systemic review and meta-analysis.

CONCLUSION: 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. Evidence was insufficient to indicate that neuromuscular electrical stimulation alone was superior to swallow therapy. PMID: 25697453 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
