Acupuncture Combined with Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in the Treatment of Swallowing Apraxia after Stroke
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Swallowing apraxia (SA) represents a distinct subtype of swallowing dysfunction, with its pathogenesis remaining unclear and no unified or standardized treatment protocols currently available. Both domestically and internationally, understanding of SA remains insufficient, and clinical research reports related to SA are scarce. This article describes the clinical course of a 43-year-old SA patient post-stroke who exhibited observed clinical improvement over the course of a multimodal rehabilitation program, aiming to enhance understanding of SA and propose a promising comprehensive treatment approach.
