Dysphagia is a frequent and life-threatening complication of multiple sclerosis (MS). Swallowing disturbances may be present at all stages of MS, although their prevalence increases with age, with disease duration, and in progressive phenotypes. The pathophysiology of dysphagia in...

In ND, disturbances of the oral and/or pharyngeal phase are very frequent, in contrast to rarely occurring esophageal problems (oropharyngeal dysphagia). Dysphagia in patients with brainstem strokes such as Wallenberg syndrome or multiple sclerosis is usually caused by a focal lesion which interrupts ...
Dysphagiain MS is likely due to involvement of corticobulbar, cerebellar, orbrainstemregions and occurs in 33%–43% of PwMS. The Dysphagia inMultiple SclerosisQuestionnaire has been validated to assess the risk of dysphagia in MS. A videofluorographic swallow study is the tool of choice for ev...
Treatment options for dysphagia associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) are currently limited. In this study we investigated whether intraluminal electrical pharyngeal stimulation facilitates swallowing recovery in dysphagic MS patients. Patients and methods Twenty dysphagic MS patients were randomized to receiv...
