Background: Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been used as a treatment option in the therapy of dysphagia for several years. In a previous review of the literature, it was concluded that NMES might be a valuable adjunct in patients with dysphagia and in patients with vocal fold paresis. However, due to different stimulation protocols, electrode positioning and various underlying pathological conditions, it was difficult to compare the studies which were identified and it was concluded that more empirical data is needed to fully understand the benefits provided by NMES. The purpose of this systematic review is, therefore, to evaluate recent studies regarding a potential effectiveness of transcutaneous NMES applied to the anterior neck as a treatment for dysphagia considering these different aspects. Method: For this systematic review, a selective literature research in PubMed has been carried out on 5 th May 2021 using the terms electrical stimulation AND dysphagia and screened for inclusion criteria by two reviewers in Rayyan. The search resulted in 62 hits. Results: Studies were excluded due to their publication language; because they did not meet inclusion criteria; because the topical focus was a different one; or because they did not qualify as level 2 studies. Eighteen studies were identified with varying patient groups, stimulation protocols, electrode placement and therapy settings. However, 16 studies have reported of beneficial outcomes in relation with NMES. Discussion: The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the most recent studies regarding a potential effectiveness of NMES as a treatment for oropharyngeal dysphagia considering different aspects. It could generally be concluded that there is a considerable amount of level 2 studies which suggest that NMES is an effective treatment option, especially when combined with TDT for patients with dysphagia after stroke and patients with Parkinson’s disease, or with different kinds of brain injuries. Further research is still necessary in order to clarify which stimulation protocols, parameters and therapy settings are most beneficial for certain patient groups and degrees of impairment.

“…The main causes of functional dysphagia in the pharyngeal phase of swallowing are muscular weakness and delayed onset of the swallowing reflex. Attempts have long been made to restore muscle strength by applying neuromuscular electric stimulation to cause forced muscle contraction, resulting in the establishment of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) as the most common stimulation technique in diverse types of dysphagia (Suiter et al 2006;Bulow et al 2008;Lim et al 2009;Park et al 2009Park et al , 2012Park et al , 2016Park et al , 2018Permsirivanich et al 2009;Ryu et al 2009;Baijens et al 2012Baijens et al , 2013Holmes et al 2012;Heijnen et al 2012;Long and Wu 2013;Nam et al 2013;Rofes et al 2013a;Huang et al 2014;Toyama et al 2014;El-Tamawy et al 2015;Humbert et al 2015;Song et al 2015;Terré and Mearin 2015;Zhao et al 2015;Jing et al 2016;Langmore et al 2016;Zhang et al 2016Zhang et al , 2019Guillén-Solà et al 2017;Meng et al 2018;Sproson et al 2018;Zeng et al 2018;Konecny and Elfmark 2018;Bucyana et al 2019;Poorjavad et al 2019;Simonelli et al 2019;Carnaby et al 2020;Huh et al 2020;…”

Recent advances in dysphagia treatment have given us many methods of stimulating swallowing function, but no attempt has been made to systematically classify them all. In this review, we provide an exhaustive description of all the techniques and stimulatory substances that stimulate swallowing that have so far been reported in the scientific literature, irrespective of their level of evidence, and we have tried to classify them with the objective of encouraging the future development of research in this direction. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis were followed for retrieval of relevant research. A total of 237 records were screened for this literature review. One record was excluded for being published in a language other than English, and 59 articles were excluded for having no original data. Of the 177 records that were assessed for eligibility in this review, 31 were excluded for reasons related to other inclusion and exclusion criteria. Finally, 146 records were classified. We found stimuli related to swallowing published in the literature could be divided into physical and chemical stimuli. Each stimulus had both peripheral and central stimuli when we assessed the main site of action. Physical stimuli included electric, magnetic and thermal stimulations and acupuncture. Chemical stimuli included spices activating transient receptor potential channels, several categories of medications, taste and flavor, and olfactory stimulants. Medications modifying substance P and the dopaminergic system are thought to be peripheral and central stimuli, respectively. This classification may pave the way to discover means to improve swallowing.

“…Surgery to remove tumor masses from the neck or head generally favors the onset of dysphagia [70]. The cervical area in patients with dysphagia is stiff, painful, and with limitation of vertebral movement; the craniocervical posture influences the function of the tongue [35,[71][72][73]. There are prerequisites for palpating the craniocervical area to assess the possible presence of lingual dysfunction, as well as manual indications to improve the same lingual functions [71,74,75].…”

A Missing Voice: The Lingual Complex and Osteopathic Manual Medicine in the Context of Five Osteopathic Models

The five osteopathic models recognized by the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine guide clinicians in the evaluation and therapeutic choice which must be the most appropriate concerning the patient's needs. Skeletal muscles represent an important interpretation, such as screening and treatment, on which these models are based. A muscle district that is not considered by the usual osteopathic practice is the tongue. The lingual complex has numerous functions, both local and systemic; it can adapt negatively in the presence of pathology, just as it can influence the body system in a non-physiological manner if it is a source of dysfunctions. This paper, the first of its kind in the panorama of scientific literature, briefly reviews the anatomy and neurophysiology of the tongue, trying to highlight the logic and the need to insert this muscle in the context of the five osteopathic models. The clinician's goal is to restore the patient's homeostasis, and we believe that this task is more concrete if the patient is approached after understanding all the contractile districts, including the tongue.
