EFFECT OF NEUROMUSCULAR ELECTRICAL STIMULATION ON DYSPHAGIA IN CHILDREN

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Although some western studies have been conducted to determine the nature of eating problems and oral motor training in children with Down syndrome, these studies are limited. Most of the studies were done in Down syndrome infants. Since feeding is a skill that develops by 2 years of age and refines till 6 years of age (Delaney & Arvedson 2008), it is essential to study the children in this age group as well. Moreover, there is a dearth of studies investigating the impact of oral motor exercises on feeding problems of the child, which may, in turn, hinder the progress of the child during the intervention. Blissett J., (2018) reported that the behaviours of both caretaker, therapist and infant during feeding contribute significantly to the overall success of the feeding interaction as well as feeding performance. Parents/caregivers play an important role in feeding the child, as they have the first-hand exposure and experience in feeding their child, awareness of the child's feeding behaviours, likes and dislikes of food and communication behaviour during hunger. Consequently, they are the best people to describe their child's feeding problems. Hence, this study involves the administration of a scale on the parent/caregiver to elicit information about the physical, functional and emotional aspects of drooling. Such studies in the Egyptian context are limited. The paucity of literature makes it clear that there are deeper underlying complex issues about oral motor exercises in children with Down syndrome that needs to be investigated. The in-depth assessment and treatment of oral motor skills will provide valuable input to the physical therapists during the treatment of feeding problems in children with Down syndrome. This would help the therapist and clinician in planning and prioritizing the goals during therapy. The information will also help in counselling the caregivers, deciding the success or failure of feeding therapy and thereby help in predicting the prognosis of the child.

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.
