Objective:
Narrative objectives1 - The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of electrical stimulation intervention using an interferential current-type low-frequency therapy device (GentleStim EX) on
Swallowing-related muscle strength (neck muscle strength, maximum tongue pressure)
Swallowing function (FILS, FOIS)
in adult patients with dysphagia, compared to conventional swallowing rehabilitation methods.
Basic objectives2 - Efficacy
