Summary

This study tests whether a mild, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve swallowing difficulties in people with Parkinson's disease. 58 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either real tDCS or a sham (fake) version, alongside standard swallowing therapy. The goal is to see if tDCS boosts brain activity in areas that control swallowing, making it safer and easier to eat and drink.
