Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation in treating post-stroke insomnia monitored by resting-state fMRI: The first case report
Post-stroke insomnia (PSI) is one of the most frequent complications in the patients with cerebrovascular diseases. About 37 to 59% of the stroke patients report insomnia complaints [1]. Moreover, researches have indicated that insomnia is related to the increased cardiocerebrovascular morbidity and decreased stroke outcome [2]. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and drug intervention are the common treatments for PSI, however, because of dissatisfacted efficiency and side effects of drugs [1], it is very urgent to find an effective, safe and convenient complementary and alternative therapy.
