Summary

This study tests if a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (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 stimulation. The goal is to see if the real treatment helps them eat and drink more safely, even for a short time.
