Patients in this group will receive recommendations from their healthcare providers about bolus volume and viscosity adaptation for fluids, dietary and nutritional adjustments (liquids and solids) of bolus volume and viscosity/texture. Before leaving each hospital they will also learn basic rehabilitation strategies for OD including swallow postures, compensatory manoeuvres and oropharyngeal rehabilitation exercises and oral hygiene to follow at home.

Patients will receive the same recommendations as the control group and also recommendation for the administration of a TRPV1 agonist (natural capsaicin) supplement (5 mL bolus before each meal), 3 meals/day, 5 days/week for 2 consecutive weeks.

Treatment in this group will also include the same measures as in the control group, plus neuron stimulation treatment of 1 session / day of pharyngeal electrical stimulation of 10 min duration, 3 days/week during one week, done at the same center.

Treatment in this group will be the same as the control group plus trans-cutaneous electrical stimuli will be applied 5 seconds every minute during 1 hour daily session, 5 days/week during 2 consecutive weeks at the same centre.

The efficacy of each treatment will be assessed by VFS in each patient after the treatment and at the end of the follow-up period, considering Rosenbek scale and measures of oropharyngeal swallow response including oropharyngeal reconfiguration, timing and extent of hyoid motion and bolus propulsion force of the tongue. Clinical outcome also evaluated are episodes of aspiration pneumonia and low respiratory tract infections, nutritional status, complications and clinical symptoms experimented during one year of follow-up and mortality rates and cause of death.

Participating clinicians will be instructed to register and describe all serious adverse events (SAE) occurred during the study and report them on a specific form within 24 hours. The guidelines for SAE reporting to the Ethical Committee and competent authorities will be followed.
