Randomized Controlled TrialThe effect of 5Hz high-frequency rTMS over contralesional pharyngeal motor cortex in post-stroke oropharyngeal dysphagia: a randomized controlled study.
We sought to find the therapeutic effect of 5Hz high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the unaffected pharyngeal motor cortex in post-stroke dysphagic patients. ⋯ A 5Hz high-frequency rTMS on contra-lesional pharyngeal motor cortex might be beneficial for post-stroke dysphagic patients. This intervention can be used as a new treatment method in post-stroke patients with dysphagia.
