Summary

This study looks at whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electric pulses) can help people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. Researchers will test three different frequencies (low, medium, and high) in 90 adults to find which works best. They will also use brain scans to understand how the treatment might change brain connections related to swallowing.
