Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for rehabilitation of poststroke dysphagia: A randomized, double-blind clinical trial

Highlights • Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been increasingly used to treat aphasia and motor impairment following stroke; however, little is known about its effect on swallowing function. • We demonstrated the long-term neurophysiological effects of rTMS on swallowing recov...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been increasingly used to treat aphasia and motor impairment following stroke; however, little is known about its effect on swallowing function. • We demonstrated the long-term neurophysiological effects of rTMS on swallowing recovery in stroke patients. • Repetitive TMS might help improve swallowing function in patients with dysphagia at the early stage of stroke.
