Description
Nerea Gómez-García and co-authors pool trials of mild brain stimulation for swallowing trouble after stroke. Their meta-analysis from 2023 notes that stroke leaves a quarter to four fifths of patients with such trouble. The fault is tied to more illness and death, so sound care matters.
Nine studies met the rules, all of them pairing the stimulation with standard swallowing therapy. Each study found gains in swallowing after care. The pooled result showed a strong effect on cutting the risk of food or drink going down the wrong way. Variation between studies was measured with a standard index. The authors back the method as an add on, within trial settings.
