Study Summary

This is a randomized open-label, with blinded outcome pilot study to evaluate the effect on inflammatory and brain injury laboratory values and explore clinical outcomes in patients who present with ischemic strokes due to large vessel occlusions and are treated with either current accepted management, or accepted management in addition to transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation.

Primary Outcome

The primary endpoints of the study will include changes in the levels of brain injury biomarkers measured at onset and every 1.5 days till day 7, or discharge (whichever occurs first), this includes: Brain Derived Tau (BD-tau). The investigators will measure BD-tau in aliquots from the plasma with mononuclear antibodies that recognizes a protein of 48 to 68 kilodalton specific to BD-tau. A functional assay will be measured in picogram/milliliter. Will utilize a high sensitivity assays to minimiz
