Treatment With the Shaker Head‐Lift Exercise in Head and Neck Cancer Patients With Radiation‐Induced Dysphagia: 12‐Month Results on Swallowing Function From a Randomized, Controlled Trial

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dysphagia is a common side‐effect after radiotherapy in head and neck cancer patients. This randomized study aimed to evaluate the effect of the shaker head‐lift exercise (HLE) after 12 months with flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES). Methods Patients were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 30) or the control

Effects of Noninvasive Cervical Vagal Nerve Stimulation on Cognitive Performance But Not Brain Activation in Healthy Adults

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract Objectives While preliminary evidence suggests that noninvasive vagal nerve stimulation (nVNS) may enhance cognition, to our knowledge, no study has directly assessed the effects of nVNS on brain function and cognitive performance in healthy individuals.

TRANSCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL NERVE STIMULATION (TENS) AFFECTING PAIN TRESHOLD

LINK, 2018
Background: Pain is the most frequent reason for the patient to go to the doctor. Pain is a very subjective symptom, it is usually rather difficult to see the pain except the patient's own complaint.

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for acute pain

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2006
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a non-pharmacological agent, based on delivering low voltage electrical currents to the skin. TENS is used for the treatment of a variety of pain conditions.To assess the analgesic effectiveness of TENS for acute pain in adults to see if it had any clear analgesic effect in its own right.The ...

Outcomes of surgical versus conservative treatment in pediatric median arcuate ligament syndrome

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) involves compression of the celiac artery and presents with gastrointestinal symptoms. We evaluated outcomes after surgical versus conservative management in pediatric MALS. Methods We reviewed charts of symptomatic patients aged 7–21 years diagnosed by ultrasound and/or computed tomography ...
