Abstract:

Repeatitive transcranial magnetic stimulation can adjust cortical excitability and improve swallowing function in patients with dysphagia after stroke. High frequency stimulations with 90% to 130% resting motor threshold (rMT) in the early stage, as well as low frequency stimulations with 100% to 130% rMT for 1200 pulse in the recovery period, may be beneficial to the recovery of swallowing function, and bilateral stimulation may be more effective.

Key words: stroke, dysphagia, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, rehabilitation, review
