Vagus nerve stimulation in cerebral stroke: biological mechanisms, therapeutic modalities, clinical applications, and future directions

Neural Regeneration Research, 2023
Stroke is a major disorder of the central nervous system that poses a serious threat to human life and quality of life. Many stroke victims are left with long-term neurological dysfunction, which adversely affects the well-being of the individual and the

Vagus nerve stimulation paired with rehabilitation for upper limb motor function after ischaemic stroke (VNS-REHAB): a randomised, blinded, pivotal, device trial

Lancet, The, 2021
BACKGROUND Long-term loss of arm function after ischaemic stroke is common and might be improved by vagus nerve stimulation paired with rehabilitation.

Vagus nerve stimulation and inflammation: expanding the scope beyond cytokines

Bioelectronic Medicine, 2022
Approximately 20 years ago it was discovered that the vagus nerve regulates pro-inflammatory cytokine levels and inflammation. Subsequent research using several preclinical models revealed that vagus nerve stimulation evokes a protective decrease in pro ...

Vagus nerve stimulation is a potential treatment for ischemic stroke

Neural Regeneration Research, 2023
Microglia are the brain’s primary innate immune cells, and they are activated and affect pro-inflammatory phenotype or regulatory phenotype after ischemic stroke.

Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation: a new strategy for Alzheimer’s disease intervention through the brain-gut-microbiota axis?

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience
Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) is an emerging non-invasive technique designed to stimulate branches of the vagus nerve distributed over the body surface.

Critical Review of Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation: Challenges for Translation to Clinical Practice

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
Several studies have illustrated that transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) can elicit therapeutic effects that are similar to those produced by its invasive counterpart, vagus nerve stimulation (VNS).

The mechanisms through which auricular vagus nerve stimulation protects against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury

Neural Regeneration Research, 2022
Previous studies have shown that vagus nerve stimulation can improve patients’ locomotor function. The stimulation of the auricular vagus nerve, which is the only superficial branch of the vagus nerve, may have similar effects to vagus nerve stimulation.

Role of Vagus Nerve Stimulation in the Treatment of Chronic Pain

Neuroimmunomodulation, 2023
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) can modulate vagal activity and neuro-immune communication. Human and animal studies have provided growing evidence that VNS can produce analgesic effects in addition to alleviating refractory epilepsy and depression.
