Abstract
The purpose of this study is to present the integrative literature review: about the applying result of the electrical stimulation use in the speech therapy clinic. The methodology used followed the concepts of the Cochrane Handbook involved question formulation related to the topic of investigation, identification and selection of the studies, and a critical evaluation of the selected articles. Selection of articles data bases of Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System on-line (Medline), Latin American Literature and the Caribe in Health Science, PubMed and Web of Science/ISI were used. The descriptors used were "transcutaneous nervous electrical stimulation", "dysphagia", "swallowing disorder", "dysphonia", "voice disorder" AND "speech language" in English, Portuguese and Spanish and its combinations, from 2003 to 2013. The electrical stimulation brings benefits the rehabilitation in speech therapy, but the methodology used in the studies was divergent and the studied population was very heterogeneous and it makes difficult its clinical use by the professionals of the area. The electrical stimulation brings benefits the rehabilitation in speech therapy clinic. But the new studies should be carried out using a more homogeneous sample and describing the methodology and the speech therapy techniques used into procedures, in order to prove its results and make its use feasible to the professionals of the area.

Resumo
Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar revisão integrativa de literatura sobre a aplicabilidade e o resultado do uso da eletroestimulação na prática clínica fonoaudiológica. Foram seguidos os preceitos do Cochrane Handbook, que envolveu a formulação da questão a ser investigada, localização e seleção dos estudos e avaliação crítica dos artigos. Foram utilizadas as bases de dados Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval Sistem on-line (Medline), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), PubMed e Web of Science/ISI. Os descritores utilizados foram: "estimulação elétrica nervosa transcutânea", "estimulação elétrica", "disfagia", "transtornos de deglutição", "disfonia", "distúrbios da voz", "treinamento da voz" e "terapia por estimulação elétrica" em inglês, português e espanhol e suas combinações, no período entre 2003 e 2013. Os estudos analisados demonstraram que a eletroestimulação traz benefícios na reabilitação de pacientes na clínica fonoaudiológica, mas a metodologia utilizada nos estudos foi divergente e a população estudada muito heterogênea o que dificulta sua utilização clínica pelos profissionais da área. A eletroestimulação traz benefícios na reabilitação fonoaudiológica, porém novos estudos devem ser realizados utilizando uma amostra mais homogênea e descrevendo metodologia e técnicas fonoaudiológicas utilizadas nos procedimentos, a fim de comprovar seus resultados e viabilizar seu uso pelos profissionais da área.
