Study Summary
Swallowing difficulties are common after a stroke and can lead to serious complications like pneumonia and malnutrition. Unfortunately, there are no effective treatment for improving swallowing in stroke patients. Previous investigations have shown that recovery of swallowing functions occurs from reorganization ("rewiring") of the non-involved cerebral hemisphere. In this study, the investigators propose to investigate a new intervention, which combines, swallowing exercises with brain stimulation targeted to the non-involved cerebral hemisphere, using low intensity current in acute stroke patients. The investigators plan to assess the safety of this technique in this patient population and also assess its effect on improving swallowing functions and swallowing physiology. During this time trial participants will undergo standardized swallowing and neurological assessments as well as brain MRI scans.
Primary Outcome
This will be assessed using the Penetration and Aspiration Scale (PAS) scores, a validated 8 point ordinal scale that quantifies penetration and aspiration events observed during Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Evaluation. PAS ranges from 1 (best score) representing no aspiration or penetration to 8 (worst score) representing severe aspiration. An average PAS score will be computed based on 9 swallows for this outcome.
