Stroke often leaves behind a wide range of functional impairments, of which limb movement disorders are more common. Approximately 85% of patients have varying degrees of upper limb motor impairment. In recent years, transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation combined with rehabilitation training has been gradually used in the rehabilitation of upper limb motor dysfunction after stroke and appears to have some therapeutic benefits.
