Task-dependent cortical responses to peripheral and central neuromodulation during water and saliva swallowing after stroke: an exploratory fNIRS pilot study
Background Post-stroke dysphagia is a common and serious complication. Neurorehabilitation strategies include peripheral neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and central transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), which operate via distinct bottom-up and top-down mechanisms, respectively. However, their diff...
