This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether acupuncture can help people recover their ability to swallow after a stroke. The study will compare two different acupuncture approaches: a newer specialized technique called "Tongguan Liqiao" acupuncture and conventional acupuncture treatment. Researchers want to see which approach works better and whether acupuncture combined with other treatments offers the best results.
Many stroke survivors struggle with swallowing, which can make eating and drinking unsafe and affect their quality of life and recovery. This study exists to find out if acupuncture—and specifically which type of acupuncture—can safely and effectively help restore normal swallowing function.

You would visit a research center between January 2026 and December 2027 for acupuncture treatment. Depending on your preference, you would receive either the specialized "Tongguan Liqiao" acupuncture technique or conventional acupuncture—or if you have no preference, you would be randomly assigned to one of these two groups. Your swallowing ability would be assessed regularly to see how well the treatment is working.
