Prior stroke trials suggest tVNS combined with rehabilitation improves upper limb motor function compared with sham rehabilitation. tVNS engages brainstem pathways that regulate neurotransmitters relevant to cognition. tVNS may support motor recovery by promoting corticospinal tract reorganisation and bilateral motor network excitation. tVNS is applied to the auricular branch of the vagus nerve at the cymba conchae.
