This study aimed to investigate the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with the traditional dysphagia therapy on the swallowing function in patients with poststroke dysphagia. In this pilot double-blind randomized clinical trial, 18 patients with poststroke dysphagia were allocated randomly to three groups: (i) traditional dysphagia therapy, (ii) rTMS, and (iii) combined intervention. Patients received traditional dysphagia therapy for 18 treatment sessions three times per week. The inhibitory rTMS was applied to the intact cerebral hemisphere at 1 Hz with a train of 1200 for 5 consecutive days. The patients in the combined intervention group received traditional dysphagia therapy and rTMS simultaneously. The Mann Assessment of Swallowing Ability (MASA) and Functional Oral Intake Scale were performed before treatment, after the end of the fifth session, after the end of the 10th session, after the end of the 15th session, and after the end of the 18th session. All groups had improved on MASA and Functional Oral Intake Scale scores over time (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt;0.01). The improvements achieved in all outcomes were significantly greater in the combined intervention group than those of the traditional dysphagia therapy and rTMS groups. The large effect sizes were found for the MASA score in all groups: traditional dysphagia therapy group (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">d<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 3.57), rTMS group (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">d<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 2.67), and combined intervention group (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">d<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 3.87). This pilot randomized-controlled trial showed that the combination of rTMS and traditional dysphagia therapy significantly improved swallowing function in patients with poststroke dysphagia.\n
