Abstract:

Neuromodulation is a kind of technique based on neurocortical repair mechanism, which affects the cerebral cortex by electrical or chemical means directly or indirectly, impacts the activity of neurons, to help the reconstruction of neural network and promote functional recovery. Transcranial direct current stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation are the neuromodulation techniques used widely in the rehabilitation of dysphagia in recent years. Neuromodulation intervention strategies for dysphagia can be selected in term of models, electrode placement, frequency, etc., based on the cerebral damage, to excite, inhibit or regulate target cerebral cortex, to improve swallowing function.

Key words: dysphagia, rehabilitation, neuromodulation, transcranial direct current stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation, review
