Background: Various approaches are used to manage dysphagia. Vibratory stimulation is a non-invasive therapeutic technique that has recently gained attention in dysphagia rehabilitation. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of vibratory stimulation on oropharyngeal function related to swallowing.
Methods: The databases of PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and ProQuest were searched until November 2022. Only English-language studies investigating the effect of vibratory stimulation on oropharyngeal functions related to swallowing were included. The methodological quality of the included articles was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal tools. Articles that scored above 50% were included for data extraction.
Findings: Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 9 studies were identified, and after quality assessment, data were extracted from 7 articles. These studies had investigated the effect of vibratory stimulation on controlling drooling, oropharyngeal dysphagia symptoms in patients, and the swallowing mechanism in healthy individuals.
Conclusion: The results of studies indicated that vibratory stimulation has therapeutic potential to be added to the conventional rehabilitation treatments. But there are still many questions about the frequency of vibration, target muscles, duration and frequency of treatment, as well as the underlying pathophysiology of swallowing disorder. Therefore, further clinical trial studies with sufficient sample size are required before this method can be recommended for use in clinical settings.
