Recent studies highlight that single therapies for chronic neurological injuries offer limited recovery. The integration of intensive rehabilitation training with vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) presents a more effective approach, known as CLV. This method enhances engagement of neural networks during rehabilitation by delivering VNS to promote the release of neurotransmitters, thereby enhancing synaptic plasticity. Initial animal studies demonstrate that this synergistic approach can lead to functional recovery, addressing complex challenges in restoring motor control and neural function not achievable with individual therapies alone.
The integration of targeted rehabilitation and vagus nerve stimulation shows promise in enhancing recovery for those with chronic neurological injuries, improving neural plasticity.
By combining intensive training with VNS, CLV addresses the challenge of credit assignment in neural recovery, focusing on improving motor control through plasticity.
