A Method to Improve Swallowing Function by Cervical Interferential Current Electrical Stimulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
高齢化に伴って,脳梗塞や神経変性疾患などに起因する嚥下障害や誤嚥性肺炎が増加しており,効率的な嚥下リハビリテーションの手法が求められている.その1つとして,標準的な嚥下訓練手法に神経・筋刺激を併用する方法がある.中でも,干渉波を用いた経皮的感覚神経刺激法(IFC-TESS)は,痛みが少なく使用しやすい.IFC-TESSは感覚神経を活性化することにより嚥下反射誘発閾値を低下させる.また,長期効果としては,咳反射の改善と経口摂取量の増加が認められ,3週間以上嚥下リハビリテーションと併用した場合の安全性も示されている.しかし,実臨床のエビデンスは不足しており,今後さらなる有用性の検討が必要である.

Electrical Stimulation and Neuroprostheses for Restoring Swallowing Function
In nerve cells, information is coded and transmitted as a series of electrical impulses called “action potentials,” which represent a brief change in cell electric potential. Nerve signals are frequency modulated; that is, the number of action potentials that occur in a unit of time is proportional to the intensity of the transmitted signal. An action potential can be elicited artificially by c...
متن کاملInterferential electrical stimulation improves peripheral vasodilatation in healthy individuals.
BACKGROUND Interferential electrical stimulation (IES), which may be linked to greater penetration of deep tissue, may restore blood flow by sympathetic nervous modulation; however, studies have found no association between the frequency and duration of the application and blood flow. We hypothesized that 30 min of IES applied to the ganglion stellate region might improve blood flow redistribut...
متن کاملSelf-triggered functional electrical stimulation during swallowing.
Hyolaryngeal elevation is essential for airway protection during swallowing and is mainly a reflexive response to oropharyngeal sensory stimulation. Targeted intramuscular electrical stimulation can elevate the resting larynx and, if applied during swallowing, may improve airway protection in dysphagic patients with inadequate hyolaryngeal motion. To be beneficial, patients must synchronize fun...
متن کاملSwallowing Function Defined by Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Studies after Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion: a Prospective Study
This study evaluated factors related to swallowing dysfunction after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) using videofluoroscopic swallowing studies (VFSS). Preoperative and postoperative VFSSs were done with 5 mL diluted barium. Oral transit time, pharyngeal delay time, pharyngeal response time (PRT), and pharyngeal transit time were measured. Hyoid bone movement and upper esophageal...
متن کاملElectrical stimulation as a therapeutic option to improve eyelid function in chronic facial nerve disorders.
PURPOSE To establish whether it is possible to improve orbicularis oculi muscle function in the eyelids of patients with a chronic seventh cranial nerve palsy by using transcutaneous electrical stimulation to the point at which electrical stimulation induces a functional blink. METHODS Ten subjects (one woman, nine men) aged 36 to 76 with chronic, moderate to severe facial nerve palsy were re...
