In the researchers' words
This study was conducted in patients with ischemic stroke; This study was conducted to examine the effect of robotic rehabilitation and transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation applied in addition to robotic rehabilitation on the patient's functional level and autonomic nervous system. 40 people over the age of 18 participated in the study. They were randomly divided into two groups: robotic rehabilitation and transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation applied in addition to robotic rehabilitation. While the robotic rehabilitation group received Lokomat and neurological rehabilitation, the other group received stimulation with the Vagustim device, which is applied non-invasively through the ear, in addition to Lokomat and neurological rehabilitation. Spasticity, autonomic nervous system, walking speed, motor function, quality of life, muscle activity and pain were evaluated in both groups before starting treatment and six weeks after treatment. In the study, significance was evaluated at p\<0.05 level.
