First seen Sep 30, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study tests whether combining a gentle electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve (through the ear) with a robotic tilt table can safely help people with long-term consciousness disorders after brain injury. Fifteen participants will undergo a 12-week program to see if this pairing improves arousal, awareness, and functional recovery. The goal is to find new ways to support rehabilitation when few options exist.
