VitalStim® Therapy is the first proven treatment for dysphagia. It's the only dysphagia therapy backed by compelling clinical data and cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The treatment utilizes small electrical currents to stimulate the muscles responsible for swallowing. At the same time, trained specialists help patients re-educate their muscles through rehabilitation therapy. This therapy can be effective for patients with a diagnosis such as stroke, Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis or general deconditioning.
