Summary

Participants suffered from acute stroke with dysphagia in single hospital who were determined by CT/MRI and clinical evaluation. Current project will recruit participants and randomize into two groups.One group will receive NMES, traditional swallowing therapy and rTMS therapy five times per week for 2 weeks ; Another group will receive NMES and traditional swallowing therapy with shame rTMS five times per week for 2 weeks. FEES and SSA were used for evaluated swallowing function before the therapy and after 2 weeks therapy.

Detailed description

Participants suffered from acute stroke with dysphagia in single hospital who were determined by CT/MRI and clinical evaluation. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of rTMS, NMES and conventional swallowing therapy to those of sham rTMS, NMES and conventional swallowing therapy. One group will receive NMES, to sham One group will receive NMES,traditional swallowing therapy and rTMS therapy five times per week for 2 weeks ; Another group will receive NMES and traditional swallowing therapy with shame rTMS five times per week for 2 weeks. MEP character, FEES, degrees of dysphagia, FOIS, and SSA were used for evaluated swallowing function before the therapy and after 2 weeks therapy.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation	Participants suffered from acute stroke with dysphagia in single hospital who were determined by CT/MRI and clinical evaluation. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of rTMS, Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and conventional swallowing therapy to those of sham rTMS, Neuromuscular electrical stimulation(NMES) and conventional swallowing therapy. One group will receive Neuromuscular electrical stimulation(NMES), to sham One group will receive Neuromuscular electrical stimulation(NMES),traditional swallowing therapy and rTMS therapy five times per week for 2 weeks ; Another group will receive Neuromuscular electrical stimulation(NMES) and traditional swallowing therapy with shame rTMS five times per week for 2 weeks. MEP character, FEES, degrees of dysphagia, FOIS, and SSA were used for evaluated swallowing function before the therapy and after 2 weeks therapy.
DEVICE	Neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined with conventional swallowing training	Participants suffered from acute stroke with dysphagia in single hospital who were determined by CT/MRI and clinical evaluation. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of rTMS, Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and conventional swallowing therapy to those of sham rTMS, Neuromuscular electrical stimulation(NMES) and conventional swallowing therapy. One group will receive Neuromuscular electrical stimulation(NMES), to sham One group will receive Neuromuscular electrical stimulation(NMES),traditional swallowing therapy and rTMS therapy five times per week for 2 weeks ; Another group will receive Neuromuscular electrical stimulation(NMES) and traditional swallowing therapy with shame rTMS five times per week for 2 weeks. MEP character, FEES, degrees of dysphagia, FOIS, and SSA were used for evaluated swallowing function before the therapy and after 2 weeks therapy.
