Left Vagus Nerve Magnetic Stimulation for Post-Stroke Dysphagia, 78 Patients

A single-blind prospective observational cohort study conducted at Guangdong Sanjiu Brain Hospital, China, from June 2024 to June 2025. The dataset contains results from 78 stroke patients with dysphagia, comparing standard swallowing rehabilitation with and without left-sided vagus nerve magnetic stimulation (VNMS). It was authored by Shujuan Huang and last updated in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare nasogastric tube removal rates based on intervention group assignment.
• Analyze the effect of vagus nerve magnetic stimulation on swallowing safety assessment scores.
• Model time-to-event outcomes for tube removal using hazard ratios and confidence intervals.
• Assess the consistency of treatment effects across different swallowing function analyses.

Strengths

• Study includes 78 patients (33 intervention, 45 control) with confounder adjustment applied.
• Results include specific effect sizes: an adjusted hazard ratio of 1.850 and an average advancement of 3.75 days for tube removal.
• Dataset is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for reuse and redistribution.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 16.9 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
