Summary

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. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve swallowing safety and reduce the risk of pneumonia, offering a new option when standard therapy falls short.
