Stroke Clinical Trial - Effect of Superficial Neuromuscular Stimulation in

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Swallowing disorder in stroke patients is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality as it can cause aspiration pneumonia. Electrical stimulation has proven to be effective in post-stroke dysphagic patients.10 patients who have symptoms of post-stroke dysphagia, meet the inclusion criteria and volunteer to participate will be included in the study. Included patients will be randomized into 2 groups. The exercise program will be applied to both groups as a home program for 4 weeks.

Clinical Trial Description

A randomized, prospective, controlled study will include 10 patients with post-stroke dysphagia. Groups will be randomized into 2 groups. 1. st group; One electrode will be connected to the suprahyoid region and the other electrode will be connected between the thyroid and hyoid cartilages. Superficial neuromuscular stimulation will be applied by the physiotherapist at 80 Hz, 0-25 µA (microampere) current range for 20 minutes, for 5 days for the patient, for a total of 4 weeks. At the same time, each patient will be taught the exercises included in traditional swallowing treatment and will be advised to practice them for 30 minutes every day. 2. nd group; Exercises such as progressively resistant oral-facial, lingual, laryngeal exercises, tongue strengthening exercises, effortful swallowing maneuver, thermal/tactile stimulation to oropharyngeal muscles, Masako maneuver, Mendelson maneuver, Shaker maneuver, which are included in traditional swallowing treatment, will be taught and practiced for 30 minutes will be recommended for one month. Patients' dysphagia scales, quality of life survey and ultrasonography measurements will be performed before and after treatment. Tests to be applied - Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOAS) - Swallowing Function Screening Test (EAT-10) - GUSS (Gagging Swallowing Screening Test) - Modified Mann Swallowing Ability Assessment Test (MMASA) - SWAL-QOL (The impact of swallowing disorders on quality of life questionnaire), - Measurements made by ultrasonography (measurement of tongue thickness, measurement of hyoid-larynx distance and measurements of other anatomical structures) Clinic Responsible for Research: Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Clinic of Kayseri City Hospital ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
