Dysphagia Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effectiveness of a New Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) Treatment Technique (VitalStim® Therapy) in the Management of Young Infants With Severe Dysphagia: a Prospective Pilot Study
The goal of this study is to obtain data that well help inform the feasibility and design of a randomized control trial of the therapeutic Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) technique in improving the swallowing function of young infants presenting with severe dysphagia.
Infants with severe neurologic disability often have difficulty in eating by mouth due to a disruption in the swallowing process. This swallowing dysfunction, also known as dysphagia, is often evident early in life and when severe can be permanent. Dysphagia can lead to an inability to take in enough food to maintain an adequate weight and result in malnutrition. It also can result in food going into the lungs instead of the stomach, resulting in an illness called aspiration pneumonia. Both of these complications may require feeding by tube either through the nose into the stomach or directly into the stomach via the abdominal wall, to bypass the swallowing process. This process is resource intense, can be associated with a number of complications and may result in a reduced quality of life for both the infant and caregivers. Currently, there are no effective treatments to change the natural course of dysphagia in this context. ;
