Summary

This study looked at whether a stellate ganglion block (a nerve injection) can improve swallowing in people who had a stroke and developed bulbar palsy. 124 adults who had their first stroke took part. All received standard rehab, and half also got the nerve block. After 10 days, swallowing function was measured using special X-ray and scope tests. The goal was to see if the block helps reduce swallowing problems.
