Article Synopsis
- Neurogenic dysphagia is a swallowing difficulty stemming from nervous system issues, with potential serious complications that can be managed.
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Vitalstim© device in treating a patient with severe dysphagia due to brain injury, comparing conventional rehabilitation to Vitalstim training over six weeks.
- Results showed significant improvement in swallowing function post-Vitalstim training, suggesting that it may enhance neuroplastic changes in the brain related to swallowing coordination.
