Treatment of Post-Stroke Dysphagia with Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Based on the Bimodal Balance Recovery Model: A Pilot Study

Abstract

Both 5 Hz and 1 Hz rTMS over the contralateral hemisphere are effective for the treatment of swallowing disorders for patients with high CBT integrity after stroke; 5 Hz rTMS over the contralateral hemisphere is more effective than 1 Hz and sham stimulation for patients with low CBT integrity.
