Summary
When the literature is reviewed, it is difficult to find direct research on the effects of auricular vagus nerve stimulation (aVNS) on the autonomic nervous system and spasticity in children with spastic cerebral palsy. However, there is a substantial body of literature on the potential of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) to modulate autonomic functions. The aim of this study is to investigate the potential effects of vagus nerve stimulation, which is known to influence the autonomic nervous system, in individuals with spastic cerebral palsy and to explore its contributions to spasticity.
