Chronic Stroke Survivors Demonstrate Long-Term Improvement in Motor Impairment with Vivistim Therapy

MicroTransponder, Inc. Announced on May 7, 2025, in Austin, Texas, that a 1-year follow-up study validates Vivistim Paired VNS Therapy for chronic stroke recovery.
The study responds to limited treatment options for ischemic stroke survivors with upper limb motor impairment by demonstrating long-term therapeutic benefits.
This landmark, multicenter, triple-blind randomized controlled trial demonstrated that paired vagus nerve stimulation leads to sustained improvements in motor abilities, daily functioning, social involvement, and overall well-being for stroke survivors for a minimum of one year following therapy completion.
Participants experienced an average increase of 5.23 points on the Fugl-Meyer Assessment Upper Extremity, and no significant negative effects associated with the therapy or stimulation were reported.
These results confirm that Vivistim, an FDA-cleared and evidence-backed treatment, enables individuals recovering from chronic ischemic stroke to achieve two to threefold greater improvements in upper limb function compared to conventional therapy alone.
