P 66 Transcranial DC stimulation enhances recovery of swallowing function after stroke – a randomized clinical and MEG trial

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a noninvasive brain stimulation tool that has shown some potential to aid motor rehabilitation following stroke. In the present clinical and neuroimaging study we evaluated whether tDCS is able to speed up the recovery of swallowing function in acute dysphagic stroke patients. Besides relating clinical effects with neuroplastic changes in cortical swallowing processing we aimed to identify factors influencing treatment success.
