By this physiological changes on the cortical level induced by this widely used tool of dysphagia rehabilitation are shown. This procedure was performed directly before the corresponding MEG measurement. A difference plot of both conditions demonstrates stronger desynchronization in the stimulation condition compared to the reference measurement (see figure 1c). This illusion was first demonstrated in an experiment where three stimulators were touched with the middle three fingers of one hand (from D2: index finger to D4: ring finger). Further examinations employing TTOS in dysphagic patients have to show that increased cortical activation is paralleled by an improved swallowing performance. The anterior faucial pillars (AFP) are bilaterally located on the oral side of the velum and form part of the soft palate. Therefore a direct comparison is possible without further calculations. It is still unclear whether these findings will translate into a clinically beneficial effect. The reservoir bag was positioned about 1 m above the mouth of each subject when seated. J Clin Neurophysiol. In the alpha frequency band and other cortical areas no significant activation was observed in either of the two conditions.

Thirteen participants with IPD and known dysphagia attended for videofluoroscopy during which standardised volumes of liquid barium and barium paste were administered preceding and immediately subsequent to TTS. The data were filtered during acquisition using a 150 Hz low-pass filter. In healthy subjects a time-dependent shift from the left to the right hemisphere was found in an MEG swallowing paradigm [29]. About five percent of the trials were rejected due to overlap between (1) and (2) or between (4) and (2) of the subsequent swallow. 1995, 16 (5): 1087-1092.

This effect was observable in both hemispheres and conditions (see figure 1a, b). 1996, 11 (3): 198-206. Current strategies of swallowing therapy involve on the one hand modification of either eating behaviour or swallowing technique and on the other hand facilitation of swallowing with the use of TTOS. Dive into the research topics of 'Immediate effects of thermal-tactile stimulation on timing of swallow in idiopathic parkinson's disease'. A clear distinction between the two phases based on the submental EMG recordings is not possible. This is to our knowledge the first study showing cortical changes elicited by this simple swallowing therapy technique. Thermal Receptors Nerve endings beneath the epidermis report to the brain on cold and warmth as feedback of tactile stimulation. 2005, 16 (5): 439-443. Little is known about the possible mechanisms by which this interventional therapy may work. The local regional ethics committee approved the protocol of the study. 10.1007/s00455-005-9009-0.

Due to the startup procedure of the MEG system the overall time between stimulation and the beginning of the measurements was between 2 and 3 minutes. 2008, 8 (1): 13-10.1186/1471-2377-8-13. It is hypothesized that the touch and cold Data from the execution stages described above were used to analyze cortical activity during the different time intervals. It is still unclear whether these findings will translate into a clinically beneficial effect.". Neurol Clin Neurophysiol. Group analysis of the normal swallowing paradigm showed no significant activation during the first 400 ms. Only small left sided activation appeared in the third time interval. Part of Postural Techniques (compensatory procedures): Limit the amount of each bolus so the bolus can be held in the pharyngeal recesses and the volume is not so large that it will overflow into the open airway. Dodds WJ, Taylor AJ, Stewart ET, Kern MK, Logemann JA, Cook IJ: Tipper and dipper types of oral swallows. To eliminate a bias due to the forced swallows directly before measurement subjects were instructed to swallow 5 times about 3 minutes before the beginning of the MEG recording in the condition without TTOS. While many patients experience recovery of swallowing within the first few weeks after stroke, 40% of dysphagic stroke patients develop aspiration pneumonia which in turn increases the use of artificial feeding, length of hospital stay, and mortality [10]. 10.1002/hbm.1058. Thermal tactile oral stimulation (TTOS) is an established method to treat patients with neurogenic dysphagia especially if caused by sensory deficits. Arch Phys Med Rehabil. 1993, 74 (9): 973-976. In the present study a significant increase of cortical swallowing activation was observed after TTOS compared to a swallowing paradigm without stimulation. 2003, 20 (1): 135-144. The side chosen for tube placement was alternated between subjects but consistent in each subject. Wavelet analysis of the parietal areas. The immediate effects of TTS on swallowing were examined using oral, pharyngeal, and total transit times and pharyngeal delay times as outcome measures. 10.1007/s00455-006-9029-4. Together they form a unique fingerprint. Here the early intervals represent the oral phase of deglutition while the later intervals are part of the pharyngeal swallowing phase. Tactile-thermal application for treating dysphagia has a tumultous history. 1993, 74 (12): 1295-1300. From the filtered MEG data, SAM was used to generate a 20 × 20 × 14 cm volumetric pseudo-t images [46] with 3 mm voxel resolution for both frequency bands. 2000, 12 (3): 298-306. 2004, 286 (1): G45-50. 2004, 22 (4): 1447-1455. of thermal sensation disappeared when the middle finger was withdrawn from the central (neutral) stimulator, indicating that congruent tactile stimulation is essential for TR to occur (Green, 1977).

Interestingly, the illusion was reported to disappear when the middle digit was lifted off the thermal stimulator, suggesting that tactile stimulation is … Article  c) The difference plot of both measurements (without oropharyngeal stimulation minus with oropharyngeal stimulation) reveals variations mainly during deglutition (after M1). Median total transit time was also reduced on fluids (0.48 s, 95% CI = 0.00-1.17, p = 0.049) and on paste (0.52 s, 95% CI = 0.08-1.46, p = 0.033). TTS significantly reduced temporal measures of the pharyngeal phase of swallowing in the IPD population. Estimation of the according swallowing phase is shown. PubMed  The effects of TTS on swallowing have not yet been investigated in IPD. Surface EMG was measured with two pairs of bipolar skin electrodes (Ag-AgCl) placed on the submental muscle groups [42, 44]. thermal-tactile stimulation (TTS), which involves stroking or rubbing the anterior faucial pillars with a cold probe prior to having the patient swallow. 2006, 21 (1): 49-55. Hum Brain Mapp. Mansson I, Sandberg N: Manometry of the pharynx and the esophagus in relation to laryngectomy. We employed whole-head MEG to study changes in cortical activation during self-paced volitional swallowing in fifteen healthy subjects with and without TTOS. TTS did not significantly alter median oral transit time on either fluid or paste consistency. It helps trigger a swallow by stimulating the anterior pillars of faces. 2003, 285 (1): G137-144. It is hypothesized that the touch and cold stimulation increases “oral awareness” and provides “an alerting sensory stimulus to the cortex and brainstem, such Robbins J, Levine RL, Maser A, Rosenbek JC, Kempster GB: Swallowing after unilateral stroke of the cerebral cortex. • Patient will utilize thermal tactile stimulation to increase oral sensation for safe consumption of least restrictive diet with (min/mod/max) verbal, visual and tactile cues • The patient will move the bolus to the back of the mouth and propel the food and liquid in a timely manner with thermal tactile stimulation to safely consume least restrictive diet with (min/mod/max) verbal, visual and tactile … Significant results may be attributed to the role of sensory stimulation in improving motor function in IPD, with emphasis on the impaired glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves in this population. TTS did not significantly alter median oral transit time on either fluid or paste consistency. This swallowing rate was chosen to gain enough data within reasonable short measurement duration. 10.1016/S1388-2457(02)00007-X. All authors read and approved the final version of the manuscript. 2004, 115 (10): 2382-2390. Between 600 ms and 1 s right hemispheric lateralization of activation could be observed.

In lesion studies left hemispheric infarction was associated with oral stage dysfunction, while dysfunction of the pharyngeal stage was related to right hemispheric lesions [39, 40]. b) Cortical swallowing activation after oropharyngeal stimulation is broader in both hemispheres. EBR and CP revised the manuscript critically for important intellectual content. Google Scholar. The color bar represents the t-value. Analysis of the chronological changes during swallowing suggests facilitation of both the oral and the pharyngeal phase of deglutition. According to these results MEG data were then filtered in the alpha and beta band. Wavelet group analysis of MEG sensor recordings revealed distinct activation in the higher alpha and lower beta frequency band in the parietal sensors with a reduction of activation at about M1 and a re-increase after about 400 – 600 ms.

Moreover the authors compared the motor electrical stimulation (ES) approach with the thermal-tactile stimulation (TS) approach. Thermal-tactile stimulation (TTS) is a sensory technique whereby stimulation is provided to the anterior faucial pillars to speed up the pharyngeal swallow. Exp Brain Res. Neuroimage. This method involves stroking or rubbing the anterior faucial pillars with a cold probe The lateralization index for each individual time interval and for both conditions is indicated. The beginning of the main muscle activation was defined as an enduring > 100% increase in amplitude or frequency of the EMG signal after an initial increase of more than 50% of EMG activity defining the onset of swallowing preparation.

Stroke direction was from top (medial) to bottom (lateral). Thermal–tactile stimulation (TTS) is a technique employed by clinicians to target a delayed pharyngeal swallowing reflex. Kaatzke-McDonald MN, Post E, Davis PJ: The effects of cold, touch, and chemical stimulation of the anterior faucial pillar on human swallowing. The infusion flow was individually adjusted to the subject's request and ranged between 8 and 12 ml/min. They reduced the delay in swallowing initiation, hastened triggering of pharyngeal swallowing in patients with neurogenic dysphagia and even led to a reduced frequency of radiographically observed aspiration. Submental recording of muscle activation is a simple and reliable noninvasive screening method for evaluating swallowing with low levels of discomfort [42]. Although in the present experiment SAM analysis of the first two 200 ms intervals did not reveal significant activation in either hemisphere, an increase of right hemispheric activation was seen in the following time intervals. Median pharyngeal delay time was reduced on fluids (0.20 s, 95% CI = 0.12-0.34, p = 0.002). X-axis represents time in seconds related to M1. Since then stimulation of the AFP and other parts of the oropharynx became a common treatment for dysphagia [12–15]. The color bar represents the t-value. Additionally to the observed and well known behavioural changes following oropharyngeal stimulation few studies focussed on its effects regarding the cortical level. Smithard DG, O'Neill PA, England RE, Park CL, Wyatt R, Martin DF, Morris J: The natural history of dysphagia following a stroke. Bottom Line: Not effective as a long-term rehab strategy mixed results in the short term as a compensatory strategy, but overall seemed to speed up the total duration of the swallow due to faster triggering of the pharyngeal swallow appeared to increase stimulation of the brain, Recordings were performed while subjects were seated in a comfortably upright position and watching a self selected silent movie. Dysphagia. This revealed ERD of rhythmic brain activity within sensorimotor cortex in each individual subject and interval. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation in patients with dysphagia caused by stroke. PubMed  Logemann J: Evaluation and treatment of swallowing disorders. To analyze the cortical activation within the early and later stages of the execution phase, this 1 second interval is divided into 5 successive 200 ms time intervals (E1 – E5). RMS of EMG amplitude across the swallow interval (M0 – M2) showed no difference in EMG power by comparison swallowing after and without oropharyngeal stimulation (p = 0.8347). Clin Neurophysiol. Median pharyngeal delay time was reduced on fluids (0.20 s, 95% CI = 0.12-0.34, p = 0.002). The first study focusing on this topic in 1997 demonstrated a facilitation of the cortical pathways by cranial nerve stimulation [37]. In each subject, both measurements were 14 days apart. TW and SS have made contributions to conception and design and did data acquisition. 1996, 105 (2): 92-97. TTS significantly reduced temporal measures of the pharyngeal phase of swallowing in the IPD population. The electrodes were connected to a bipolar amplifier (DSQ 2017E EOG/EMG system, CTF Systems Inc., Canada), and the nominal gain was set at 1. Today this technique is often used in the treatment of patients with neurogenic dysphagia to facilitate a delayed or absent swallowing response. Thirteen participants with IPD and known dysphagia attended for videofluoroscopy during which standardised volumes of liquid barium and barium paste were administered preceding and immediately subsequent to TTS. J Speech Hear Res. Cook IJ, Kahrilas PJ: AGA technical review on management of oropharyngeal dysphagia. The two conditions, after and without TTOS, did not differ in swallowing behaviour. For comparison of both conditions a standard permutation test for unpaired samples was performed [51]. The significance of activated brain regions was investigated by the permutation test method described by Chau and co-workers (2004). Thirteen participants with IPD and known dysphagia attended for videofluoroscopy during which standardised volumes of liquid barium and barium paste were administered preceding and immediately subsequent to TTS. TR is an important phenomenon that reflects how thermal and tactile modalities coordinate to resolve Clinical sequelae of dysphagia in this group include weight loss and aspiration pneumonia, the latter of which is the leading cause of hospital admissions and death in IPD. 10.1002/hbm.20488.

[Purpose] The effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation in the rehabilitation of swallowing remains controversial. TTS did not significantly alter median oral transit time on either fluid or paste consistency. The effects of TTS on swallowing have not yet been investigated in IPD. Significant activation in group analysis is shown (p < 0.001). J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. Similar activation is found in both hemispheres before swallowing onset. Group analysis of SAM results revealed significant event related desynchronizations (ERD) in the beta frequency band located in the primary sensorimotor cortex (BAs 4, 3, 1, and 2) in both conditions (p < 0.05) (see figure 2). Current strategies of swallowing therapy involve on the one hand modification of eating behaviour or swallowing technique and on the other hand facilitation of swallowing with the use of pharyngeal sensory stimulation. Dysphagia. Thermal-tactile stimulation (TTS) is a sensory technique whereby stimulation is provided to the anterior faucial pillars to speed up the pharyngeal swallow. In the present study we could demonstrate an increase of cortical activation after thermal tactile oral stimulation. Definition of active, resting and background stages of swallowing-related muscle activity. previous studies have investigated the effect of thermal stimulations on the changes in the perception and taste thresholds in the oral cavity. We took care that the tongue was not at all touched by the ice stick. The surface temperature of the stick was between -1° and 3°C. 1996, 6: 30-34. PubMed  To distinguish the swallowing execution phase, each individual's EMG signal was used to mark the swallowing related muscle activation.
