NMES Clinical Update
October 1, 2015
Prevalence of Dysphagia: Adults in the U.S. • 1 in 25 adults affected annually • Estimated 9.44 0.33 million adults report a swallowing problem. • Overall, 23% saw a health care professional for their swallowing problem, and 37% were given a diagnosis. • Commonly reported etiologies – Stroke: 422,000 77,000 – Other neurologic causes: 269,000 57,000 – Head and neck cancer: 185,000 40,000 • Mean days affected by a swallowing problem was 139 7 • 12 lost workdays in the past year vs. 3.4 lost workdays for those without a swallowing problem Bhattacharyya, 2014
Dysphagia Implications • 3x increased risk of pneumonia in patients with dysphagia • 12x increased risk of pneumonia in patients with aspiration Martino et al., 2005
• 9x greater odds for death in patients who are aspirating thickened liquids. Schmidt et al., 1994
History of NMES and Dysphagia: FDA Study Submission 1993-1995 – Randomized 58 patients (thermal stimulation) and 109 electrical stimulation (sensory stimulation)
June 1995 – Motor stimulation: 1 patient who failed sensory stimulation – Continued randomization with 30 more patients to determine number of treatments necessary
1995 - 1998 – Non-randomized 725: 100% motor stimulation

Clinical Implication No solid or liquid is safe (aspiration highly likely or present) as above (candidate for PEG) Liquids not tolerated unless pudding consistency Able to tolerate increasing levels of liquids
Level of Swallow Deficit Profound Profound Significant Moderate Mild
No coffee, tea, juice or water Any viscosity is tolerated
Minimal Normal
History of NMES and Dysphagia: FDA Study Submission Results • BOTH sensory stimulation and motor stimulation were more effective than thermal stimulation • Sensory and Motor were “indistinguishable” after 2 treatments…and only to Level 4 (nectar) • Sensory: 6 treatments; Motor: 5 treatments for similar improvements • “For patients with severe dysphagia, electrical stimulation had a success rate of 97.5% of restoring swallowing patients past the point of requiring a PEG…”

NMES Clinical Update

History of NMES and Dysphagia: FDA Study Submission And thus… FDA 510(k) approval to market VitalStim (Chattanooga Group, Hixon TN) for external NMES in the laryngeal neck region. Other devices on the market • eSWALLOW • Spectramed • Phagenyx
LATEST EVIDENCE IN STROKE: CLINICAL TRIALS RESULTS
Summary Evidence – 2007: Meta-Analysis of Clinical Trials • 7 studies: quantifiable trials, including randomized and quasiexperimental trials that included a measureable variable.
• 20% INCREASE in swallowing score following treatment. Carnaby-Mann & Crary, Arch Otolaryngol Head neck Surg, 2007

NMES Clinical Update
October 1, 2015
Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS): Crary, Mann, & Groher, 2005 LEVEL 1: NPO LEVEL 2: Tube dependent, minimal attempts of food or liquid LEVEL 3: Tube dependent with consistent oral intake of food or liquid LEVEL 4: Oral diet, single consistency LEVEL 5: Oral diet, multiple consistencies, requiring special preparation or compensations LEVEL 6: Oral diet, multiple consistencies, no special preparation, specific food limitations LEVEL 7: Total oral diet with no restrictions
Latest Evidence: Permsirivanich et al., J Med Assoc Thai, 2009 RCT: NMES alone (n = 12) vs. Traditional therapy alone (n = 26) Patients New stroke; persistent dysphagia >2 weeks Therapy 60 minutes 5 days/week 4 weeks
Latest Evidence: Lee et al., Ann Rehabil Med, 2014 RCT: NMES with traditional therapy (n = 31) vs. Traditional therapy alone (n = 26)
Patients New stroke Therapy 30 minutes 5 days/week 3 weeks

NMES Clinical Update
October 1, 2015
Latest Evidence: Park et al., Dysphagia, 2012 RCT: Motor NMES + effortful swallow (n = 9) vs. Sensory NMES + effortful swallow (n = 9) Patients >1 month post-stroke; dysphagia
Vertical movement of the larynx
Therapy 20 minutes 3 days/week 4 weeks
Summary Evidence – 2015: Meta-Analysis of Clinical Trials 8 studies: Randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials Goals of the systematic review with meta-analysis To determine: 1. Superiority of traditional therapy with NMES vs. Traditional therapy without NMES 2. Superiority of NMES alone vs. Traditional therapy alone Chen et al., Clin Rehabil, 2015
Summary Evidence – 2015: Meta-Analysis of Clinical Trials Superiority of traditional therapy with NMES vs. Traditional therapy without NMES (n = 6 studies)
Confirmed SMD 1.27 (95% CI: 0.51, 2.02), p = 0.001 Chen et al., Clin Rehabil, 2015

Summary Evidence – 2015: Meta-Analysis of Clinical Trials Superiority of NMES alone vs. Traditional therapy alone (n = 3 studies)
Insufficient evidence SMD 1.27 (95% CI: 0.51, 2.02), p = 0.001 Chen et al., Clin Rehabil, 2015
SUMMARY AND FINAL COMMENTS
Summary Reviews and RCTs… • Presented limited numbers of studies • Studies had low numbers of subjects • Most studies have methodological shortcomings – Masking assessors only – Lack of details for interventions used
• DO lend support for use of NMES with traditional therapy

NMES Clinical Update
October 1, 2015
Final Thoughts Research for NMES and dysphagia treatment is in its infancy First RCT was 6 years after FDA approval of VitalStim Future studies MUST be… • Methodologically well-controlled • Adequately detailed for replication • Larger to improved adequacy of statistical power
