This study is a pilot study to prepare clinical trials to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of 4-channel electric stimulation therapy devices as a newly developed function for the treatment of dysphagia disorders. The purpose of this study is to investigate the difference in 4ch NMES and 2ch NMES, And to obtain the values such as mean, standard deviation and so on, and to determine the number of subjects to be studied for clinical trials of validation permission in the future.
* Design: Prospective study * Inclusion criteria of patient group: who has a dysphagia symptom and confirmed by video-fluoroscopic swallowing study * Intervention: Participants are divided into two group and applied electrical stimulation by a "Synchronized Electrical Stimulation Device(SESD)" in 4channel or 2channel Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation. * Main outcome measures: videofluoroscopic parameters, EQ-5D (EuroQoL-5D) questionnaire, II. M. D Anderson dysphagia inventory

videofluoroscopic dysphagia scale
total score 100 from 0, 100 is worst outcome
Time frame: baseline/ change from baseline when electrical stimulation applied(the object of this study is to know the temporary change of dysphagia when stimulating with 4ch NMES.
