Summary

This study tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation method called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it can temporarily improve swallowing in people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. About 30 adults who had a first-time stroke at least 3 weeks ago and have confirmed swallowing problems will receive either real or fake (sham) stimulation. The goal is to measure changes in their ability to eat and drink safely.
