NCT ID NCT07643337
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) paired with rehabilitation can improve leg and walking function in people who have had an ischemic stroke. Researchers will enroll 24 adults who are already approved for VNS therapy for arm problems. The goal is to see if this combination helps with lower limb movement and gait.
