OHSU turns to vagus nerve therapy for stroke and arthritis
Original: OHSU uses bioelectric medicine in vagus nerve to help patients heal from stroke, arthritis
Oregon Health & Science University is using bioelectric medicine, in which small electrical pulses are delivered to the vagus nerve, to help patients recover from stroke and arthritis. The approach aims to stimulate the body's own healing pathways rather than relying on drugs alone. Interest in vagus nerve stimulation has been growing as researchers report benefits for conditions that are otherwise hard to treat.
Why now: Bioelectric medicine is an emerging field and OHSU's work on two major conditions, stroke and arthritis, draws attention from patients and clinicians.
