Randomized Chinese Trial to Test Motor-Imagery BCI in Post-Stroke Dysphagia

Summary A randomized controlled trial of motor-imagery brain-computer interface (BCI) training for swallowing difficulty after stroke was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR) on April 9, 2026, under the number ChiCTR2600122162. It will test whether the training improves swallowing function in stroke patients, and has not yet begun recruiting.
Why it matters Almost every rehabilitation BCI decodes an imagined limb movement. Swallowing is not one, which makes this China's first test of how far motor imagery carries past the arm, into a complication that is common after stroke and short on effective therapy. Recruitment has not opened.

BCIwiki (bciwiki.com) — A randomized controlled trial evaluating motor imagery-based brain-computer interface (BCI) training for dysphagia after stroke has been registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR) with ID ChiCTR2600122162. The trial was registered on April 9, 2026, and is not yet recruiting, according to the ChiCTR record republished by the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP).

Details such as trial design, sample size, and sponsor are not included in the registry entry and require consultation of the original record. Dysphagia is a common complication after stroke with limited rehabilitation options. Motor imagery-based BCI training, which decodes motor intentions from EEG signals, may offer a new approach to swallowing rehabilitation.
