The study was conducted with patients with dysphagia who were followed up with Parkinson's disease in the neurology and physical therapy rehabilitation departments. The study is a prospective, double-blind clinical intervention study. Patients were divided into two groups (5 Hz and 10 Hz) and received rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) treatment. The pharyngeal cortex region was targeted in the intervention. Major aim in the treatment was to examine the difference in clinical response caused by the application of rTMS treatment at different frequencies.
