Vagus nerve stimulation paired with tactile training improved sensory function in a chronic stroke patient [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Recent studies indicate that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) paired with rehabilitation can enhance neural plasticity in the primary sensory and motor cortices, improve forelimb function after stroke in animal models and improve motor function ...

Neural Stimulation Hardware for the Selective Intrafascicular Modulation of the Vagus Nerve
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2023 The neural stimulation of the vagus nerve is able to modulate various functions of the parasympathetic response in different organs. The stimulation of the vagus nerve is a promising approach to treating inflammatory diseases, obesity, diabetes, heart ...

Forced normalization after turning off vagus nerve stimulation in Lennox–Gastaut syndrome
Epilepsy and Behavior Case Reports, 2019 Forced normalization is the development of psychiatric symptoms in a patient experiencing remission of seizures. We present a case of Lennox Gastaut syndrome in which forced normalization developed after vagus nerve stimulation was stopped.The patient ...
