NMES
Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) is a non-invasive, painless treatment that uses a small portable stimulator which generates customizable electrical pulses. These pulses flow through a lead wire to a pair of small electrodes placed on the facial muscles or under the chin to stimulate the motor nerves that result in muscle contraction. Therapy involves resistance exercise paired with NMES to improve strength, timing and reeducation of the swallowing muscles.
