Introduction Myofunctional orofacial examination (MOE) is an important tool for the assessment of the stomatognathic system and orofacial functions, and the early diagnosis of orofacial myofunctional disorders. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to scan the literature and determine the most preferred test for myofunctional orofacial examination. Materials and Methods A literature review was conducted to collect information. Pubmed and ScienceDirect database was explored by using keywords gained by MeSH (Medical Subject Headings). Results Fifty-six studies were retrived from the search and all of the studies were screened and evaluated regarding the subject, aim, conclusions and the orofacial myofunctional examination test they used. It has been observed that traditional evaluation and inspection methods have been replaced by newer and methodological approaches in recent years. Conclusions Although the few tests used differ, 'Orofacial Examination Test With Scores’ (OMES) was found to be the most preferred myofunctional orofacial evaluation method from ENT to cardiology.

“…Although few studies on tDCS application in CP children are available, most research supports the effectiveness of tDCS on motor function, language and cognitive function in CP children. In these studies ( 19 , 23 , 50 ), stimulation locations, stimulation intensities, and intervention durations and frequencies differed. Whether optimal values exist for these specific parameters is not known and warrants further study.…”

“…The results showed that the control group had a certain improvement in operation ability, attention transfer and comprehension ability, while tDCS combined with cognitive training significantly improved each assessed item, and the improvement degree in the experimental group was better than that in the control group. Lima et al ( 23 )reported a case of tDCS improving speech function. In this study, a child with cerebral palsy and speech apraxia was treated by tDCS 5 times a week for 2 weeks.…”

Cerebral palsy (CP) refers to a group of diseases characterized by persistent central dyskinesia, postural development disorder and activity limitation syndromes caused by nonprogressive brain injury in the developing fetus or infant, which is often accompanied by sensory, cognitive and attention disorders. The routine rehabilitation methods for children with CP mainly include physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and other methods. In recent years, noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS), as a relatively new intervention method, has been widely used because of its potential to regulate cortical excitability and plasticity. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is an NIBS technique that is easier and more convenient to perform. It does not require patients to remain stationary for a long time or have a significant impact on treatment results due to children's frequent activities. Compared with other NIBS techniques, tDCS has greater flexibility and no strict restrictions on patients' activities; it also helps the therapist conduct occupational therapy or speech therapy while a child receives tDCS, which markedly reduces the treatment time and avoids burnout due to a long treatment duration. Thus, tDCS is a better and more convenient intervention for CP children and warrants further exploration. Accordingly, this article reviews tDCS application in children with CP and discusses tDCS application prospects for such children to promote its expansion in clinical practice.

“…Moreover, its low cost and portability may enable patients to utilize tDCS, with close clinical monitoring, in their homes or other naturalistic settings where such therapeutic activities occur, thereby enhancing the accessibility of tDCS and integrating it into existing intervention plans (38). Although the literature is sparse, there are emerging reports of the use of tDCS concurrently with therapeutic interventions such as integrative speech therapy (74) and aerobic exercise (75) in human patients. However, much remains to be understood regarding the specifics of timing, repetition, and task-specific parameters to maximize the therapeutic effects of concurrent interventions.…”

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation: Considerations for Research in Adolescent Depression

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Adolescent depression is a prevalent disorder with substantial morbidity and mortality. Current treatment interventions do not target relevant pathophysiology and are frequently ineffective, thereby leading to a substantial burden for individuals, families, and society. During adolescence, the prefrontal cortex undergoes extensive structural and functional changes. Recent work suggests that frontolimbic development in depressed adolescents is delayed or aberrant. The judicious application of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques to the prefrontal cortex may present a promising opportunity for durable interventions in adolescent depression. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) applies a low-intensity, continuous current that alters cortical excitability. While this modality does not elicit action potentials, it is thought to manipulate neuronal activity and neuroplasticity. Specifically, tDCS may modulate N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors and L-type voltage-gated calcium channels and effect changes through long-term potentiation or long-term depression-like mechanisms. This mini-review considers the neurobiological rationale for developing tDCS protocols in adolescent depression, reviews existing work in adult mood disorders, surveys the existing tDCS literature in adolescent populations, reviews safety studies, and discusses distinct ethical considerations in work with adolescents.
