Summary
Brief summary
Swallowing dysfunction after stroke is common, but there is no reliable evidence for how it
should be managed other than perhaps by nasogastric tube. This study compared the
effectiveness of standardised, low and high intensity behavioral intervention for dysphagia
with that of "usual care".
