PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dysphagia treatment device being used for a long period of time without letting a user feel discomfort, and facilitating appropriate swallowing by lowering a swallowing threshold. SOLUTION: This dysphagia treatment device is provided with two or more pairs of electrodes wherein positive and negative electrodes are paired, and a control part has a difference (treatment frequency) in frequency (carrier frequency) of the current flowing from the electrodes set to 10-100 Hz and alternately and continuously outputs the paired electrodes for 1-1,000 ms and stop the output for 1-1,000 ms. This constitution gives no bodily sensation in the skin or muscles so as to make the user endure for a long period of time without feeling discomfort, and the current by the interfered frequency stimulates the superior laryngeal nerve alone to surely lower the swallowing threshold.
