Description
Jiatong Shan and six co-authors pool trials of skin-based vagus nerve stimulation for Parkinson's disease. Their systematic review and meta-analysis was published in twenty twenty-four. The noninvasive therapy is proposed as an add-on, but its worth had never been tallied.
Six databases were searched for randomized trials. Six trials with one hundred and seventy-six patients qualified. Motor outcomes led: sign severity, mobility, balance, and gait. Thinking, mood, sleep, and side effects were also tracked, split by treatment length and medication state. Bias was scored with a standard tool. The pooled results give clinicians a first quantitative read on a therapy patients can apply at home.
