First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether giving a sour liquid early on can improve swallowing function in people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. Researchers worked with 95 patients who had an acute ischemic stroke and developed dysphagia. They measured swallowing ability at the start, on day 7, and on day 30 to see if the sour taste made a difference.
