Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of dysphagia treatment in patients with supratentorial ischemic stroke using swallowing exercises combined with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). Subjects and Methods: This was a controlled interventional study to evaluate the effectiveness of transcranial direct current stimulation within a rehabilitation program. The study included 20 patients in the intervention group and 20 patients in the control group who had a confirmed diagnosis of first-ever supratentorial ischemic stroke, dysphagia, and were receiving tube feeding. The patients were treated at the Rehabilitation Center, Bach Mai Hospital. Results: After the intervention, both dysphagia and the risk of aspiration improved. The MASA scale score increased by 18.9% (37.8/200), which was significantly higher than the control group (p<0.05). No adverse effects were recorded during the intervention. Conclusion: Transcranial direct current stimulation is a safe and effective method for swallowing function rehabilitation and for reducing the risk of aspiration in patients with supratentorial ischemic stroke.
