A total of 300 participants diagnosed with PSD following acute ischemic stroke and presenting with Functional Oral Intake Scale levels 2\u20134 were enrolled. They were randomly assigned to receive either verum acupuncture (VA) or sham acupuncture (SA), delivered in 10 sessions over 14\u2009days. The primary outcome was the response rate at Day 14, defined as the percentage of participants achieving a Functional Oral Intake Scale level \u22656.
