summary: Swallowing problems are sometimes present in people with MS and they can cause other further complications if the situation is not addressed properly. In this study the authors aimed to investigate the beneficial effects of neuromuscular stimulation as a treatment for swallowing dysfunction. Beneficial effects were observed, suggesting that this could be considered as a treatment for swallowing problems in MS.
