Study Summary

Oromotor dysfunction and poor feeding is common after premature birth and hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Pairing vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) with motor activity accelerates functional improvements after stroke. This study is designed to investigate whether transcutaneous auricular VNS (taVNS) paired with oromotor rehabilitation is tolerable, safe, and facilitates motor learning in infants who have failed oral feeding.
