Summary
This study tested whether a mild electrical stimulation on the ear (taVNS) can improve how the heart adapts during exercise and recovery in 35 adults with chronic spinal cord injury. Participants did exercise twice—once with real stimulation and once with a sham—while researchers measured heart rate patterns. The goal was to better understand how the nervous system controls the heart after injury, not to provide a treatment.
