Optimizing Dosing of Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Stroke Recovery

David T. Pruitt et al.

Summary: The study found that moderate-intensity VNS paired with rehabilitation training maximizes recovery of motor function in models of ischemic stroke. VNS at 0.8 mA was beneficial for functional recovery, while VNS at 0.4 mA and 1.6 mA were not sufficient to improve recovery compared to equivalent rehabilitation without VNS.

High intensity VNS disrupts VNS-mediated plasticity in motor cortex

Robert A. Morrison et al.

Summary: The study found that moderate intensity VNS can enhance motor cortex plasticity in rats, while replacing half of moderate intensity stimulation with high intensity VNS can block this enhancement, and reinstating plasticity can be achieved by removing high intensity stimulation and using only 50 pairings of moderate intensity VNS.
