Sensory pathway neurostimulation strategies caused immediate enhancement of motor cortex excitability with peripheral strategies (capsaicin and IPES) and of pharyngeal sensory conduction with rTMS. These changes support the use of sensory neurorehabilitation strategies in promoting swallow recovery in chronic PS-OD.
