TANS Group

The TANS Group will receive low-frequency electrical stimulation (20-30 Hz) via a TENS device on the auricular vagus nerve for 30 minutes, 3-4 times per week for 8 weeks. This non-invasive therapy aims to reduce spasticity, enhance neuroplasticity, and improve motor function and independence, assessed through standardized scales.
