Neurostimulation for Dysphagia in Acute and Critical Care: A Systematic Review, Pairwise and Network Meta‐Analysis
Our findings suggest that NMES + TDT, rTMS + TDT, NMES, tDCS + TDT, rTMS, PES + TDT and PES are effective therapies for improving swallowing function in acute and critical care patients, while the effectiveness of ta-VNS + TDT requires further investigation. Among the five neurostimulation therapies, NMES + TDT may be the most effective, according to probability rankings.
