First seen Apr 14, 2026 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study tested whether a mild electrical stimulation on the ear (taVNS) can improve how the body controls heart rate during exercise and recovery in 35 adults with chronic spinal cord injury. Participants did exercise sessions with real stimulation and with a sham (fake) stimulation to compare effects. The goal was to better understand how the nervous system adapts, not to treat the injury itself.
