Brain zaps tested to help Parkinson's patients swallow safely
NCT ID NCT07221110
Summary
This study tested whether a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation treatment could improve swallowing difficulties in people with Parkinson's disease. 26 patients with moderate-to-severe Parkinson's and swallowing problems received either 5 Hz or 10 Hz stimulation to the brain area controlling swallowing. Researchers measured changes in swallowing safety, food residue, and eating ability to see which frequency worked better.
