This study was developed to determine the effectiveness of transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation on cognitive impairment among subjects with anterior cerebral artery syndrome. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of two non-pharmacological methods of treatment for cognitive impairment patients with ACA syndrome. Material and Methods: The project was conducted as a pilot study in a private hospital in Chennai. The experimental group (group A) received transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation for 20 minutes and conventional strengthening exercises for the affected limb for 10 minutes. Group B got conventional cognitive training (20 minutes) and strengthening exercises (10 minutes). Following the four-week treatment, a post-test analysis was performed using the Montreal cognitive assessment scale. Results: The post-test analysis obtained a mean value of about 27.25 and SD 1.5 for group A, whereas group B revealed 22.75 ± 1.25, mean ± SD, and a significant P value of 0.004. Conclusion: Non-invasive transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation has been proven to be an effective approach for preventing vascular dementia. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: clinical trial research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
