Researchers conducted a feasibility study examining a closed-loop system that pairs transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) with upper-limb movements as a potential neurorehabilitation approach. The study investigated whether automatically triggered, movement-synchronized taVNS is a viable and tolerable intervention for upper-extremity rehabilitation. Findings contribute to the growing evidence base around non-invasive neuromodulation as an adjunct to motor rehabilitation therapy.
