In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This randomized controlled trial is conducted to determine the effects of transcutaneous auricular Vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) on postural control in stroke patients (e.g., improvements in balance, mobility, and functional stability) and to evaluate the effects of taVNS on autonomic nervous system responses in stroke patients (e.g., changes in heart rate variability, blood pressure variability, skin conductance, and temperature).
