The Effect of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Poststroke Dysphagia Recovery
Phase 2
- Conditions
- StrokeDysphagia
- Registration Number
- NCT02090231
- Lead Sponsor
- Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan
- Brief Summary
Dysphagia is one of severe complications among stroke survivors. Dysphagia is usually associated with high levels of morbidity, mortality, and financial cost. In recent years, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has shown promise to facilitate poststroke dysphagia. However, most researches were preliminary studies in the past. The present study aims to investigate the immediate and long-term efficacy of high frequency rTMS on chronic dysphagic patients.
- Detailed Description
rTMS protocol: 5 Hz real or sham stimulation, 10 minutes per day, for 10 week-days.
