Registry study for paired VNS after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study follows people who already have the Vivistim device implanted after an ischemic stroke affecting arm or hand function. It may help researchers better understand how paired nerve stimulation therapy works in real-world care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have had the Vivistim device implanted.
- Your stroke must be an ischemic stroke (a type where blood flow is blocked).
- Your stroke-related problem must affect your upper limb (arm/hand).
- You must be implanted already (this is a registry, not a new implant study).
- You must be eligible for surgery (the study excludes people not fit for surgery).
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This registry looks at people with a prior ischemic stroke to see how a device that stimulates the vagus nerve may support arm recovery. If you are planning to get the implant and can follow the program steps, your information may be followed to track progress and safety.
This trial tests whether pairing vagus nerve stimulation with rehabilitation exercises can improve arm function after a stroke. It may help if your stroke was from a clot and you still have weakness in one arm.
This study tests a wireless nerve stimulation device placed near the vagus nerve to help people recover after a stroke. It focuses on people with specific remaining arm/hand movement and recovery levels at least 12 months after stroke.
This trial tests whether a device called a vagus nerve stimulator (VNS), placed under the skin, is safe and helps improve arm function when started 3 months after a stroke. It is for people with moderate to severe arm weakness who can still move their arm a little.
This trial tests whether stimulating the vagus nerve can improve arm movement, breathing, and quality of life in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It involves a non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the neck during therapy sessions.
This trial tests whether pairing vagus nerve stimulation (a mild electrical pulse to a nerve in the neck) with rehabilitation exercises can help improve arm movement after a brain bleed. It may be an option if you have had a brain bleed more than 6 months ago and still have some arm weakness.
