Vagus nerve stimulation boosts post-stroke motor skill recovery
(University of Texas at Dallas) Researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas have demonstrated a method to accelerate motor skill recovery after a stroke by helping the brain reorganize itself more quickly. In a preclinical study, the scientists paired vagus nerve stimulation with a physical therapy task aimed at improving the function of an upper limb in rodents. The results showed a doubled long-term recovery rate relative to current therapy methods.

Non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation reduces blood-brain barrier disruption in a rat model of ischemic stroke
ConclusionOur data suggest that the neuroprotective role of a series of nVNS administrations during MCA occlusion, spatially correlates with protection of BBB integrity from damage and reduction of infarct extent induced by ischemic stroke.

From adults to pediatrics: A review noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) to facilitate recovery from brain injury
Prog Brain Res. 2021;264:287-322. doi: 10.1016/bs.pbr.2021.01.019. Epub 2021 Feb 23.ABSTRACTStroke is a major problem worldwide that impacts over 100 million adults and children annually. Rehabilitation therapy is the current standard of care to restore functional impairments post-stroke, however its effects are limited and many patients suffer persisting functional impairments and life-long disability. Noninvasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS) has emerged as a potential rehabilitation treatment option in both adults and children with brain injury. In the last decade, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), Transcranial Direct...

Vagus Nerve Stimulation and Upper Limb Rehabilitation
This article will review the evidence for the use of vagus nerve stimulation to drive the growth of new neural pathways during upper limb rehabilitation and improve functional recovery after stroke.Recent FindingsApproximately 85 % of patients with stroke present with arm weakness and 60 % of stroke survivors with poorly functioning arms at 1 week do not recover meaningful function by 6 months. The mainstay of current treatment is intensive, task-specific and repetitive rehabilitation therapy or occasionally methods suc h as constraint-induced movement therapy and robotic therapy. The effects of these treatments are m...

Electrical Stimulation of the Vagus Nerve Dermatome in the External Ear is Protective in Rat Cerebral Ischemia
Conclusions Electric stimulation of the vagus nerve dermatome in the external ear activates brainstem afferent vagal nuclei and reduces infarct volume in rats. This finding has potential to facilitate the development of treatments that leverage the brain's endogenous neuroprotective pathways at the setting of acute ischemic stroke.
