Short and Long-Term Efficacy

DYSPHAGIA, CORTEX
In the 3-month follow-up, we found that the swallowing function of patients in the tDCS treatment group was significantly better than that of patients in the conventional treatment group, indicating that tDCS has a certain long-term efficacy against dysphagia. However, how long this therapeutic efficacy will last remains unclear. That is, whether tDCS can reverse the damage of the swallowing functional connection pathway and whether its efficacy has long-term stability need to be further studied. The completion of swallowing movement requires the normal coordination of the cerebral cortex and subcortical areas, cerebellum, peripheral nerves and related muscles and sensory input. Swallowing is regulated by bilateral brains, but bilateral regulation is not absolutely symmetrical [
