Vocal Cord Paresis- difficult swallowing

Question

Asked for Male, 0 Years

My grandfather is suffering with Vocal Cord Paresis, He is currently taking liquid food through nasal pipe for more than 3 months now. We have been going for voice therapy for around 1 month, during the latest ENT consultation doctor advised his vocal movements are better but need to continue with nasal pipe for some more time. I heard about VocalStim device , would that help his situation? Our concern is he's getting weak without any food. Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
