Questions to ask when developing an appropriate treatment plan within the ICF framework include the following. DPNS has been shown to have a large effect on swallow function, quickly improving reflexive cough and improving vocal quality. Sometimes a light transient headache and a feeling of fatigue is reported, although it is not clear whether these are caused by the stimulation or participation in the experiment . Instrumental evaluation can also help determine if swallow safety can be improved by modifying food textures, liquid consistencies, and positioning or implementing strategies.
