Parkinson's disease (PD) leads to various types of swallowing disorders. We investigated the effect cervical percutaneous interferential current stimulation on dysphagia. By conducting detailed qualitative and quantitative analysis videofluoroscopic examination, we aimed understand dysphagia in patients with PD investigate its effects function.Patients received for 20 min twice a week 8 weeks. In this exploratory study, evaluated aspiration/laryngeal penetration, oral cavity residue, vallecular pharyngeal residue. addition, performed temporal analysis.Twenty-five were completely evaluated. At baseline, proportions laryngeal penetration/aspiration, epiglottic vallecula residue 40.0, 88.0, 72.0, 60.0, 16.0%, respectively. Conversely, transit time, elevation delay reflex nearly within normal ranges. Cervical sensory improved only at end intervention, from 88.0 56.0%.Patients demonstrated remarkably high frequencies residues regions. The usefulness was partially Considering that exhibits diverse symptoms, further accumulation cases knowledge is warranted.jRCTs062220013.
