Assess the Safety and Efficacy of the 4 Channel NMES, Pilot Study

Not Applicable
Terminated
Conditions
Dysphagia
Registration Number
NCT03664479
Lead Sponsor
Seoul National University Hospital
Brief Summary

This study is a pilot study to prepare clinical trials to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of 4-channel electric stimulation therapy devices as a newly developed function for the treatment of dysphagia disorders.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the difference in effect by the electric stimulation method and to obtain the values such as mean, standard deviation and so on, and to determine the number of subjects to be studied for clinical trials of validation permission in the future.

Detailed Description

* Design: Prospective study

* Inclusion criteria of patient group: who has a dysphagia symptom and confirmed by video-fluoroscopic swallowing study(N=9)

* Intervention: Participants are divided into two group and applied electrical stimulation by a "Synchronized Electrical Stimulation Device(SESD)" in different protocol

* Main outcome measures: high-resolution manometry(HRM) parameters, videofluoroscopic parameters, EQ-5D (EuroQoL-5D) questionnaire
