#142 The Vagus Nerve and Stroke with Sarah Blair
from OT Potential Podcast | Occupational Therapy CEUs
It feels like in every practice area, the importance of the vagus nerve is being talked about.But nowhere is it being researched as much as vagal nerve stimulation post-stroke. And the initial results are promising — as long as it is paired with rehabilitation.
