The effect of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation on cardiovascular function in subarachnoid hemorrhage patients: A randomized trial
Published in eLife, 2025
This randomized trial evaluates the cardiovascular safety profile of taVNS in subarachnoid hemorrhage patients. The study supports taVNS as a safe neuromodulation approach in a medically fragile population and shows shifts in autonomic balance consistent with parasympathetic engagement.
