Swallowing is one of the most complex human behaviors. The process of chewing and swallowing requires the participation of at least six pairs of cranial nerves, the first to third cervical nerve segments, and 26 muscles of the mouth, pharynx, and esophagus. The swallowing process can be divided into five stages: cognitive phase, preparation phase, oral phase, pharyngeal phase and esophageal phase. Dysphagia is a clinical condition characterized by a disturbance in the delivery of food from the mouth to the stomach. Oral, pharyngeal, esophageal disorders, cranial nerve, medullary lesions, pseudobulbar palsy, extrapyramidal system disease, myopathy can cause swallowing dysfunction. Swallowing neuromuscular electrical stimulator is used for the treatment and training of swallowing dysfunction. By outputting specific low-frequency pulse current to stimulate the laryngeal and cervical neuromuscular, excite the nerves and swallowing muscles, promote the recovery of damaged nerves, strengthen the movement of swallowing muscles, relieve neuronal paralysis, promote the reconstruction and recovery of swallowing reflex arc function, and then improve swallowing and language ability. It is suitable for the evaluation, treatment and training of swallowing and dysarthria caused by non-mechanical operation of pharynx. In recent years, it has become the most commonly used clinical treatment of dysphagia.
