Abstract in brief

The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) in enhancing motor recovery after strokes, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), and spinal cord injuries (SCI).
The review included 29 studies—11 on animal models and 8 on humans—with findings indicating that combining VNS with rehabilitation therapy generally improved motor outcomes, though invasive VNS had more severe side effects compared to non-invasive methods.
The conclusion suggests that VNS, whether invasive or non-invasive, can benefit motor recovery after strokes in humans, but further research is necessary to explore its efficacy and risks in TBI and SCI patients.
