Conditions

Post-Stroke Dysphagia

Interventions

TMS Group:An 8-shaped coil was used, with the functional area targeting the M1 region. Treatment parameters: frequency of 5 Hz, pulse stimulation intensity at 100% of the motor threshold (MT), stimula
Electro-Acupressure Needle Group:Electro-acupuncture needles (0.25 mm × 2 mm) were embedded subcutaneously at bilateral Jialianquan acupoints. Subsequently, two electrode pads from a low-frequency ner
Combination Group:This group received both of the above treatment interventions simultaneously.
