Interventions

Medical Device : The experimental group received NMES using a VitalStim(Chattanooga Group, Hixson, TN, USA) with effortful swallowing, whereas the placebo group received sham NMES with effortful swall

in the placebo group, sham stimulation was used at an intensity of 1.0 mA. The duration of the electrical stimulation in this study was set at 30 min per session. The intensity was gradually increased
