Effects of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on Submental Muscle Activity

Abstract: Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) therapy has been proposed as a treatment option for pharyngeal dysphagia. However, little is known about the effects, if any, that NMES has on specific biomechanical aspects of the pharyngeal swallow. The purpose of this study was to determine if two weeks of NMES applied to the submental muscles increased myoelectric activity. Ten age- and gender-matched subjects participated, and eight completed the protocol. Treatment was delivered using an AB or BA design. No tre… Show more

“…In the study 35 which evaluated 10 local application of electrical stimulation, described three local application did not produce the hyoid descent during rest and, on the elevation of the hyoid bone, there was a gain in elevation of the hyoid with swallowing effort. Seven of the eight subjects evaluated in a survey 36 they showed no significant gains with the use of NMES on myoelectric activity of the larynx. Research indicates that further studies are needed involving healthy individuals, in order to know the effect of electrical stimulation in this population, and so determine their influence on the biomechanics of swallowing, which will assist in the use of this resource in the therapeutic process.…”

“…Three studies with evidence levels 2B [34][35][36] They tested the effect of electrical stimulation applied to the submental and laryngeal muscles of healthy subjects to evaluate the effect of NMES on the elevation of the hyoid during swallowing, examine the effect in 10 sites of application of NMES applied to the submental area for two weeks and see if It would have increased myoelectric activity of the larynx. In one study 34 , there was an increase of the patients, but studies with higher levels of evidence must be carried out, especially with a large sample and with a more homogeneous group of patients, to then check your results.…”

“…[18] showed that there was no significant gains in myoelectric activity of the sub mental muscles following neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation. Therefore, the benefit of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation to the sub mental muscles with the goal of improving the pharyngeal swallow is not supported.…”

“…Uma participante apresentou grandes ganhos na atividade muscular após duas semanas de tratamento, sendo este dado atribuído ao aumento da intensidade da estimulação durante os dias de estimulação. Os autores concluíram que a EENM passiva nos músculos submandibulares para maximizar a fase faríngea da deglutição não esta bem definida (28) . Foi aplicada EENM em 18 pacientes (12 homens e seis mulheres), todos em regime de internação hospitalar ou atendimento ambulatorial, com disfagia de causas distintas, sendo que cinco apresentavam disfagia grave.…”
