Summary

This study looks at a device called Phagenyx that uses mild electrical pulses to stimulate the throat muscles in stroke survivors who have severe trouble swallowing. Researchers will compare patients who received this treatment with those who did not, to see if it helps them eat and drink more safely. The goal is to improve recovery and reduce the need for feeding tubes.
