Breakthrough Stroke Treatment with Vivistim Therapy

How Vivistim Helps Restore Arm Movement After Stroke

Learn how Vivistim combines vagus nerve stimulation and occupational therapy to improve arm movement after stroke. Dr. Sheila Smith and occupational therapist Annie Wong explain how this innovative stroke recovery treatment works, who may qualify and what patients can expect.

The Neurosurgery team is now offering Vivistim Therapy for ischemic stroke patients, which utilizes first-of-its-kind technology to help improve upper limb function. Our expert neurosurgeons connect the Vivistim implant to your vagus nerve, which controls involuntary body functions, that then stimulates your brain to help create and strengthen neural pathways. This process helps improve hand and arm function over time.

One of the common symptoms for stroke patients is difficulty performing daily tasks like prepping food. However, with the help of rehabilitation and exercise, Vivistim has shown that it can significantly improve these symptoms with a simple, minimally invasive procedure.

The Neurosurgery Team

Members of our Neurosurgery team come from a wide range of disciplines – including neurologists, neurosurgeons, physiatrists and pain experts – providing a true multidisciplinary approach to your care.

The team meets weekly to discuss cases and share ideas for treatment planning.
