Summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine whether the use of tDCS in dysphagia rehabilitation during the subacute phase of stroke assists in the recovery process while patients are still hospitalized. Patients aged 60 to 80 years who have suffered a stroke and are in the subacute phase of the disease, admitted to the hospital, will be recruited to receive tDCS application contralateral to the lesion for 10 sessions, combined with conventional speech-language therapy for swallowing rehabilitation. The primary question it aims to answer is whether the use of tDCS combined with swallowing rehabilitation accelerates recovery compared to conventional speech-language therapy alone.
