Stimulation (VNS) and its benefits
About this Event
The Vivistim® Paired VNS™ System combines vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) with rehabilitation to enhance neuroplasticity, helping the brain relearn motor tasks more efficiently. By activating the brain's attention system and releasing key neuromodulators, VNS fosters the formation of new neuronal connections that bypass stroke-damaged areas. The Vivistim regimen integrates both in-clinic and out-of-clinic activities, optimizing recovery outcomes.
