Summary

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of conventional speech therapy associated with functional electrical stimulation in patients with dysphagia after ischemic stroke. Included patients will be divided into two groups, where in the intervention group the speech therapy is associated to functional electrical stimulation, and in the control group, the patients will receive the conventional speech therapy with electrical stimulation Placebo with intensity 0hz.

Conditions

  • Dysphagia, Oropharyngeal
  • Stroke, Ischemic

Interventions

OTHER

Functional Electrical Stimulation

Functional electrical stimulation device obeying the following steps: Muscle heating - 2 min, 10 Hz, 250 μm; Potentiation of muscle fibers type I - 8 min, 30 Hz, 250 μm; Potentiation of muscle fibers type II - 8 min, 80 Hz, 300 μm; Toning - 8 min, 30 Hz, 300 μm; Muscle Relaxation - 4 min, 5 Hz, 200 μm One channel of electrodes will be placed in the submental region and the other in the thyroid. Treatment should be started at minimum levels of intensity, increasing carefully until appropriate effects are achieved in the procedure

OTHER

Conventional Speech Therapy

Conventional speech therapy with laryngeal elevation exercises, stimulation of oral reflexes such as swallowing reflex, tongue movements, lips and cheeks, gustatory therapy
