Peripheral Sensory Stimulation for Long-Term Improvement in Mild Cognitive Decline: A Prospective Interventional Study
PISTA stimulation produced sustained improvement in cognition and reduced perceived pain, supporting its promising role as a safe, non-invasive adjunct for neurodegenerative cognitive decline. These findings suggest peripheral sensory activation as a promising driver of functional neuroplasticity and warrant verification in randomized, controlled trials.
