Efficacy of interferential current transcutaneous electrical sensory stimulation through the neck skin for treating dysphagia in children with disabilities: A case series.

ABSTRACT: Finding a suitable treatment for dysphagia has been challenging and the efficacy of neuromuscular electrical stimulation has been recognized. Moreover, the beneficial effect of interferential current transcutaneous electrical sensory stimulation has recently been described. However, the efficacy of interferential current transcutaneous electrical sensory stimulation in children with disabilities is unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to confirm the efficacy of interferential current transcutaneous electrical sensory stimulation in children with disabilities. Four children with disabilities of various types underwent interferential current transcutaneous electrical sensory stimulation once a week. All patients showed improved symptoms after interferential current transcutaneous el
