Official title
Safety and Effectiveness of Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation Therapy to Improve Motor Recovery After Stroke
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Respiratory-gated Auricular Vagal Afferent Nerve Stimulation (RAVANS) for improving motor recovery after stroke. Subacute stroke patients will receive RAVANS or sham stimulation concurrent with arm motor training during 10 intervention sessions occurring daily for 30 minutes over 2 weeks. The safety and improvements in arm motor function after the intervention will be compared in patients receiving RAVANS to those receiving sham stimulation.
