Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an FDA-approved, targeted therapy that, when paired with physical therapy, can help stroke survivors improve function in their affected arm and hand. In this episode, hosts Dr. Jyutika Mehta and Dr. Marie McNeely speak with Dr. Teresa Jacobson Kimberley and Dr. Steve Wolf about their research using vagus nerve stimulation to enhance motor recovery after stroke, including their latest data on long-term outcomes. We cover how vagus nerve stimulation works, who could benefit, and how this approach could potentially help people with other neurological diagnoses in the future. Dr. Kimberley is Professor in the Department of Physical Therapy and Director of the Brain Recovery Lab at the MGH Institute of Health Professions. She is also a research associate at Harvard Medical School, Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, and the Center for Neurotechnology and Neurorecovery. Dr. Wolf is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at Emory University School of Medicine. This podcast is sponsored by the Mike A.

Stroke and other neurological conditions can have profound impacts on a person's ability to communicate, and speech therapy delivers evidence-based treatment to help people regain their ability to connect with friends, family, and their community. In this episode, we discuss who could benefit from speech therapy, the process of language recovery after stroke, areas of ongoing research, exciting new innovations in the field, and how speech therapy can shape a person's path to recovery after stroke. Dr. Jyutika Mehta and Dr. Marie McNeely welcomed guests, Dr. Swathi Kiran and Patrick Prock to share their experiences and expertise. Dr. Kiran is a certified speech language pathologist and the James and Cecilia Tse Ying Professor in Neurorehabilitation at Boston University, where she is also Founding Director of the Center for Brain Recovery. In addition, she is Co-founder of Constant Therapy. Mr. Prock is a stroke survivor and advocate who received treatment at Texas Woman's University Dallas. This podcast is sponsored by the Mike A.

A brain injury or a diagnosis with a neurological condition can happen at any point in a person’s life, and neurorehabilitation can play an important role in improving function and quality of life. This episode examines what we know about neurorecovery in pediatric and adult populations, as well as exciting new frontiers in neurorehabilitation research focused on enhancing neurorecovery. Hosts, Dr. Jyutika Mehta and Dr. Marie McNeely, speak with guests, Dr. Jason Carmel and Dr. Steven Zeiler, in an engaging conversation on this important topic. Dr. Jason Carmel is a pediatric neurologist, Chief of the Division of Child Neurology, and Executive Director of the Weinberg Family Cerebral Palsy Center at NewYork-Presbyterian and the Columbia University Irving Medical Center, and Dr. Steven Zeiler is an adult neurologist and Associate Professor of Medicine at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
