Electroacupuncture treatment for post-stroke oropharyngeal dysphagia: a randomized controlled trial
This study provides preliminary evidence demonstrating that PSOD patients may benefit from EA at bilateral <i>Jialianquan</i>. Relative to a control group receiving traditional rehabilitation alone, the addition of EA was associated with improvements in a range of different outcome measures in PSOD patients, with medium to large effect sizes.<b>Trial registration number:</b> ChiCTR2200058198 (Chinese Clinical Trial Registry).
