Summary

This study tests whether a non-invasive nerve stimulation (tVNS) applied to the ear or neck, combined with task-specific training, can improve arm movement, thinking skills, and quality of life in people who had a stroke 3–6 months ago. 54 participants will be randomly assigned to one of two stimulation methods or a sham group. The goal is to find a safe, drug-free way to enhance recovery without surgery or implants.
