Summary

This study will test whether different frequencies of electroacupuncture (low, medium, or high) can improve swallowing problems in 90 stroke survivors. Participants will receive daily 30-minute sessions over several weeks. The goal is to find the best frequency and understand how it affects brain pathways involved in swallowing.

electroacupuncture (low, medium, or high frequency)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could identify the most effective electroacupuncture frequency to help stroke survivors regain swallowing ability.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with no placebo group, so results may not prove effectiveness. The treatment is also not a cure for the underlying stroke damage.
