Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation with Upper Limb Repetitive Task Practice May Improve Sensory Recovery in Chronic Stroke
We report the impact of taVNS paired with a motor intervention, repetitive task practice, on sensory recovery in a cohort of patients with chronic stroke.

Effect of Combined Vagus Nerve Stimulation on Recovery of Upper Extremity Function in Patients with Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
To evaluate the effectiveness of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) combined with rehabilitation therapies in restoring upper extremity (UE) function following stroke. Data Sources A search was implemented in key databases along with hand searches of relevant papers and performed on 31 July 2021.

Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation with Concurrent Upper Limb Repetitive Task Practice for Poststroke Motor Recovery: A Pilot Study
Invasive vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has the potential to enhance the effects of physiotherapy for upper limb motor recovery after stroke. Noninvasive, transcutaneous auricular branch VNS (taVNS) may have similar benefits, but this has not been evaluated in stroke recovery. We sought to determine the feasibility of taVNS delivered alongside upper limb repetitive task-specific practice after stroke and its effects on a range of outcome measures evaluating limb function.

Vagus nerve stimulation promotes the M1-to-M2 transition via inhibition of TLR4/NF- κB in microglial to rescue the reperfusion injury
To specify the effect of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) on microglial polarization following ischemic-reperfusion and further investigate its underlying mechanism.
