Electrophysiological Techniques to Evaluate Swallowing in Central and Peripheral Nervous System Disorders

Neurogenic dysphagia is a frequent condition that may result in serious complications. Despite high incidence of neurogenic dysphagia, the neurologist is not really interested in its clinical diagnosis and management. In this review, several neurophysiological methods are described to evaluate the neurogenic dysphagia. These kinds of assessment methods are important for early diagnosis and some management strategies against to progressive...
