Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
In recent studies, functional electrical stimulation (FES) was be used in neurologically dysphagia patients, and there were some positive effects with these studies. Hence, we decided applied FES to these NPC patients with dysphagia.
