Effects of Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation With Rehabilitation on the Recovery of Upper Extremity Function After Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
This meta-analysis showed augmented effect of taVNS on rehabilitation therapy in paretic upper limb motor function poststroke, especially combined with conventional rehabilitation. However, the high heterogeneity of aggregated results indicates more rigorously designed studies are needed.
