First seen Apr 24, 2026 · Last updated Apr 24, 2026

Summary

This study tests a non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the ear (taVNS) in people who had a stroke within the past month and have arm weakness. Researchers will measure changes in brain activity and look at certain genes to understand how the stimulation might help recovery. The goal is to gather knowledge, not to provide a treatment.
