Zapping the brain to stop deadly pneumonia after stroke

NCT ID NCT06123650

Summary

This study is testing if adding a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to standard swallowing therapy can help prevent pneumonia in people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. It will involve 70 recent stroke patients in Egypt. One group will get the standard therapy plus a fake stimulation, while the other gets the standard therapy plus real brain stimulation, to see which is better at reducing pneumonia risk.
