Magnetic brain stimulation plus therapy for swallowing after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat, Heart & circulation, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a gentle magnetic brain stimulation (called rTMS) to standard swallowing therapy can help prevent pneumonia in people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. It might reduce the risk of getting a lung infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your stroke was mild or moderate (not too severe).
- You are between 49 and 65 years old.
- You can understand and follow simple instructions.

This trial tests if pulsed electromagnetic therapy can help improve chronic swallowing problems in older adults who have had a stroke. It may be an option for patients who have had difficulty swallowing since their stroke more than 6 months ago.
This trial tests whether combining two types of brain stimulation (iTBS and NMES) can improve swallowing problems after a stroke. If you have had trouble swallowing for at least two weeks but no longer than six months after your stroke, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a type of brain stimulation called theta burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to see if it can help people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. It is designed for people who had their first stroke within the last 2 weeks to 6 months and are right-handed.
This study tests a gentle air-pulse stimulation in the throat to see if it helps rebuild the brain's swallowing pathways after a stroke. It might improve your swallowing ability over time.
This study is testing whether a gentle brain-stimulation technique called tDCS can help people with Parkinson's disease who have trouble swallowing. If you have Parkinson's, multiple system atrophy, or progressive supranuclear palsy and a swallowing problem, this trial may be an option.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that uses gentle electrical currents to help improve swallowing in people who have had a stroke. It aims to make swallowing safer and reduce food or liquid going into the lungs.
