Brain zaps may offer temporary swallowing relief for stroke patients
NCT ID NCT06305949
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests if a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can temporarily improve swallowing in people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. About 30 adults who had a first stroke at least 3 weeks ago will receive either real or fake (sham) stimulation. Researchers will measure changes in swallowing ability using standard scales.
