The purpose of this study was to observe the effect of Theta burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (TBS) on swallowing function in patients with dysphagia after stroke (PSD). Functional near- infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) was used to detect the changes in activation and functional connectivity of related brain regions in PSD patients treated with intermittent TBS(iTBS)stimulation on the affected side and consistent TBS(cTBS) stimulation on the healthy side. To investigate the effects of TBS on swallowing related cortical excitability in stroke patients with dysphagia and explore its possible mechanism, and provide theoretical basis for the treatment of PSD patients.
