“…There is a prevalence of 18–100% of Parkinson’s disease with dysphagia, it can lead to dehydration, malnutrition, aspiration pneumonia, depression, and social isolation, and it can also affect the quality of life and even cause death ( Dashtelei et al, 2024 ). Dehydration, malnutrition, asphyxia, and death are all risks associated with neurogenic dysphagia, which severely reduces the quality of life for the patient ( Xia et al, 2023 ; Kocica et al, 2024 ).…”

A neurogenic dysphagia is dysphagia caused by problems with the central and peripheral nervous systems, is particularly prevalent in conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and stroke. It significantly impacts the quality of life for affected individuals and causes additional burdens, such as malnutrition, aspiration pneumonia, asphyxia, or even death from choking due to improper eating. Physical therapy offers a non-invasive treatment with high efficacy and low cost. Evidence supporting the use of physical therapy in dysphagia treatment is increasing, including techniques such as neuromuscular electrical stimulation, sensory stimulation, transcranial direct current stimulation, and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation. While initial studies have shown promising results, the effectiveness of specific treatment regimens still requires further validation. At present, there is a lack of scientific evidence to guide patient selection, develop appropriate treatment regimens, and accurately evaluate treatment outcomes. Therefore, the primary objectives of this review are to review the results of existing research, summarize the application of physical therapy in dysphagia management, we also discussed the mechanisms and treatments of physical therapy for neurogenic dysphagia.

Dysphagia is a frequent and life-threatening complication of multiple sclerosis (MS). Swallowing disturbances may be present at all stages of MS, although their prevalence increases with age, with disease duration, and in progressive phenotypes. The pathophysiology of dysphagia in MS is likely due to a combination of factors, including the involvement of corticobulbar tracts, the cerebellum, and the brainstem. Accurate diagnosis and early management of swallowing disorders improve quality of life and may delay complications or invasive therapeutic interventions. Here we provide an overview of the pathophysiology, the assessment, and the management of MS dysphagia, also examining the possible role of novel therapeutic strategies. Although studies using imaging and neurophysiological techniques have contributed to better characterize swallowing alterations in MS, the treatment of dysphagia is still challenging. Rehabilitation represents the main therapeutic approach for swallowing disorders. Recently, some innovative neurophysiological approaches, such as pharyngeal electrical stimulation (PES), repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), have been proposed as a supplement to swallowing therapy in different neurological conditions. However, only few studies have explored the role of neuromodulation for MS dysphagia.
