MicroTransponder's Paired VNS™ technology combines Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) and therapy, with the goal of improving quality of life for patients with chronic neurological conditions. Certain therapy activities and exercises can naturally help the brain’s neuroplasticity, or ability to form and reorganize connections, in response to learning or experience after injury, such as a stroke.  Paired VNS was designed to help increase neuroplasticity, so the brain can bypass damaged areas by building new, healthy neural connections or transferring function to other existing pathways.
