A Pivotal Randomized Study Assessing Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) During Rehabilitation for Improved Upper Limb Motor Function After Stroke (VNS-REHAB)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Paired Vagus Nerve Stimulation and Rehabilitation for Cerebrovascular Stroke and Upper Extremity Paresis. Completed, enrolled 108 participants across 20 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
This is a pivotal phase study of up to 120 subjects and 15 clinical sites. All subjects are implanted with the Vivistim System® and then randomized to either study treatment or active-control treatment. The randomization will be stratified by age (\<30, \>30) and baseline FMA UE (20 to \<35; \>35 to 50). Study treatment is vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) delivered during rehabilitation. Active control treatment is rehabilitation (standard-of-care treatment) with only a minimal amount of VNS at the start of each session intended to support blinding.
