Abstract

In order to study the rehabilitation of dysphagia after stroke, this paper uses tomographic imaging technology and repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation rTMS therapy to verify the effect of this treatment method on the rehabilitation of dysphagia after stroke. In this study, the method of systematic review and meta-analysis are used to comprehensively collect the current published literature on the application of repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation in post-stroke dysphagia, and to quantitatively synthesize and qualitatively analyze the data and opinions. This article aims to explore the therapeutic effect and mechanism of repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation in the treatment of dysphagia after stroke, and to evaluate its effectiveness, so as to better guide the application of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in the rehabilitation of dysphagia after stroke. The evaluation methods of rTMS for the clinical efficacy of PAS, FDS, VDS, DOSS, DD, and BI in patients with dysphagia after stroke are consistent. The influencing factors of rTMS on the swallowing function impairment of stroke include the choice of stimulation frequency, stimulation site, and stimulation time. Low-frequency stimulation of the contralateral hemisphere and high-frequency stimulation of the affected brain can reduce the excitability of the contralateral brain and enhance the excitability of the affected brain. The stimulation site is mainly in the pharyngeal cortex. Experiments show that rTMS can improve swallowing dysfunction after stroke within 2 weeks, and rTMS has no obvious side effects on swallowing dysfunction in patients with cerebral infarction.
