Dysphagia Dysphagia is derived from the Greek work phagein, meaning “to eat.” An estimated 15 million Americans are afflicted with dysphagia, a condition that causes discomfort or difficulty swallowing. One in 17 people will develop some form of dysphagia in their lifetime, including 50 to 75 percent of stroke patients, and 60 to 70 percent of patents who undergo radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. At its most severe – when patients entirely lose their ability to eat – dysphagia can profoundly disrupt one’s life. VitalStim® Therapy
VitalStim® Therapy is the first proven treatment for dysphagia. It's the only dysphagia therapy backed by compelling clinical data and cleared by the FDA. VitalStim® Therapy uses a small electrical current, passing it through external electrodes on the anterior neck, to stimulate inactive or atrophied swallowing muscles. Concurrently, trained specialists administer rehabilitation therapy to help re-educate the muscles. In hospitals and rehabilitation centers across the country, VitalStim Therapy has freed dysphagia patients from the need for PEG tubes – and in many cases, led to resumption of normal dietary intake.
