Post Stroke Dysphagia: Effect of Adding rTMS to Conventional Therapy on the Prevalence of Pneumonia.

"The Magstim Rapid2 magnetic stimulator system (Model P/N 3576-23-09, Magstim Company, Whitland, UK) was used to deliver rTMS electrical currents via a figure of 8 coil applied to the scalp against the targeted contralesional motor Hot spot , at a depth of approximately 1 cm . The inhibitory rTMS will be applied to the intact cerebral hemisphere at 1 Hz with a train of 1200 for 5 consecutive days."

Repetitive TMS via a sham Magstim coil (identical appearance and noise, but no active stimulation). Identical stimulation schedules as patients in study group.
