Shocking new hope: brain zaps may restore swallowing after stroke

This study tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS to help people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. About 76 adults who had a stroke 1 to 6 months ago will receive either real or fake stimulation over the cerebellum. Researchers will measure changes in swallowing safety and muscle activity to see if this approach can ease symptoms and improve quality of life.
