About this study

  • Design: Prospective study
  • Inclusion criteria of patient group: who has a dysphagia symptom and confirmed by video-fluoroscopic swallowing study
  • Intervention: applied electrical stimulation by a "Synchronized Electrical Stimulation Device(SESD)"
  • Main outcome measures: videofluoroscopic parameters, EQ-5D (EuroQoL-5D) questionnaire, II. M. D Anderson dysphagia inventory

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • patient who do not belong to the criteria excluded for subjects aged 19 years or older
  • Patient who is confirmed to be dysphagia by videofluoroscopy
  • Patients who need clinical application of electrical stimulation therapy equipment for dysphagia. ex) stroke, cervical spinal cord injury
  • Those voluntarily agreeing to the clinical trial

Exclusion criteria

  • Patient who refuse inspection, do not agree
  • Simple "Commend obey", first step is impossible
  • When instructions can not be executed due to dementia, psychiatric disorders, etc.
