Objectives

Narrative objectives1

IFC(interferential current stimulation therapy)is a noninvasive therapy which does not involve muscle contraction.According to a previous study,it was found that IFC improves the swallowing reflex in healthy subjects.Also,it was found that IFC improves nutritional intake and cough sensitivity of patients in acute phase hospitals.However,there are no reports of its use in chronic phase facilities.The purpose of this study is to verify whether IFC-TESS is also effective in improving the swallowing function of those in chronic phase facilities.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Swallowing function in the residents of chronic phase facilities.
The evaluation results from before and after intervention (interference current stimulation ) will be compared.
Compare cough reflexes (cough latency time) at the beginning of intervention and 3 weeks later.

Key secondary outcomes

Evaluation of Nutrition ( FOIS , Oral intake calorie)
Cough reflex(cough frequency)

Interventions/Control_1

The presence or absence of cough reflexes would be checked before intervention

Interventions/Control_2

An interferential current -transcutaneous electrical sensory stimulation device (Creid Corporation,Gentle Stim)would be used on the subjects.The device would be used 2 times a day(morning and afternoon)-15 minutes each-every day(excluding weekends;5 days a week)-for a total of 3 weeks.The presence or absence of cough reflexes would be checked before intervention, and at the end of the 3 weeks intervention.

Key inclusion criteria

Those in chronic phase facility (such as a special nursing home for the elderly),and is orally ingesting some sort of swallowing adjusted meal.
Those with who are unable to express their intent (such as those with dementia ) are NOT excluded and included in this study.Those who fall into this category are very likely to have dysphasia,and the effectiveness of the intervention on these subjects are one of the focuses of this study.

Key exclusion criteria

Those with asthma(as a prevention of induction of asthma in cough test)
Those whose diet is tube feeding,and is not ingesting anything by mouth.
Those with pacemaker placement or those with epilepsy(as IFC-TESS may have adverce effects on subjects with such conditions.However,those with stents, coil embolization,or shunts are not excluded.
Those with 28 points or more in MMSE
