简要总结
This study will explore the effects of 3 different neurostimulation methods on swallowing function in patients with dysphagia secondary to Parkinson's Disease
详细描述
The aim of this study is to assess 3 novel neuromodulation approaches - namely, pharyngeal stimulation, high frequency (5Hz) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and low frequency (1Hz) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on swallowing function in patients with dysphagia after Parkinson's Disease. A total of 66 patients are planned to be recruited, randomised to one of the 3 technologies or a sham treatment. A single treatment will be given and the effects will be assessed with a barium exam called videofluoroscopy within the 1st hour after the treatment. In addition, some measures of brain function will be recorded, before and after the treatments using single pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation.
