Optimization of Closed-loop Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation (taVNS) as a Neurorehabilitation Tool
In Brief
A Early Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation (taVNS) + Task Specifc Training for Stroke. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study explores the use of a new form of neuromodulation known as transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) which stimulates the ear. This stimulation will be delivered concurrently with upper limb motor rehabilitation training (3 days/week for 4 weeks) in chronic stroke patients. Patients will undergo a series of baseline assessments (including a brain scan), a 4-week course of motor rehabilitation, and post-assessments (including a second brain scan)
