Randomized Controlled Trial
Functional magnetic stimulation using a parabolic coil for dysphagia after stroke.
Recently, the usefulness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for poststroke dysphagia has been reported. However, there is no report that describes the effectiveness of functional magnetic stimulation (FMS) for dysphagia. The purpose of this study is to clarify the effectiveness of FMS for poststroke dysphagia. ⋯ FMS using a parabolic coil can potentially improve swallowing function in poststroke dysphagic patients.
