The BDNF polymorphism Val66Met may be predictive of swallowing improvement post pharyngeal electrical stimulation in dysphagic stroke patients
Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to explore the effect of brain‐derived neurotrophic factor ( BDNF ) polymorphism rs6265 (Val66Met) in both “natural” and treatment induced recovery of swallowing after dysphagic stroke. Methods Sixteen dysphagic stroke patients that completed a single‐blind randomized sham controlled trial of pharyngeal electrical stimulation ( PES ) within 6 weeks of their stroke (N=38), were genotyped for the BDNF SNP...
