In this special follow-up episode of the Know Stroke Podcast, we welcome back Dr. Teresa Kimberley to dive into the one-year outcome study of Vivistim — the first FDA-approved vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) therapy for chronic stroke rehabilitation.

Dr. Kimberley, a leading researcher in neuroplasticity and motor recovery, shares key insights from the study, exploring how Vivistim supports long-term functional gains in stroke survivors. We discuss what the findings mean for brain plasticity, how VNS stacks up against other rehabilitation options, and what’s next in the field of neurorehabilitation.

Whether you’re a clinician, stroke survivor, caregiver, or simply curious about cutting-edge stroke recovery science, this conversation offers valuable takeaways on the future of VNS therapy.
