NCT02893033

Brief Summary

The patients with chronic dysphagia secondary to first-ever stroke were randomly assigned to 2 groups: Group A: sham stimulation for 10 minutes , Group B: real rTMS for 10 minutes. rTMS conditioning: daily rTMS 10 min for 10 days. Assessments: 1. videofluoroscopy,2.Functional outcome swallowing scale (3 scales). 3. MEP measurements
