?? The incredible human brain has limitless potential. While millions of stroke survivors suffer from continued impairment in their hands and arms ?? 3 to 6 months following a stroke, at this point, the problem is in the strength of the muscle due to the ?? disruption of signals from the brain. Clinically-proven Vivistim Paired VNS Therapy taps into this natural ability of the brain to rewire after a stroke, providing exceptional recovery outcomes where traditional therapy alone may fall short. ??

We walk with healthcare providers and stroke survivors throughout the entire Vivistim Paired VNS Therapy process. Here's a guide you can share with your patients and their caregivers so they can know what to expect. 1?? Complete our Getting Started Survey to see if Vivistim might be right for them. 2?? If the stroke survivor meets the survey criteria, they will be contacted by one of our representatives who will guide them through the evaluation process. 3?? To determine if the stroke survivor is eligible for Vivistim Therapy, a rehabilitation professional will evaluate their current hand and arm function. They will then be referred for a consultation with a surgeon to determine if they are a good candidate for the implantation procedure. 4?? Our Market Access Team will support patients and their provider’s office in navigating the insurance process. Vivistim is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance with prior authorization on a case-by-case basis. 5?? Simple, outpatient procedure when a surgeon makes a small incision in the neck, to place the lead, and another small incision in the chest, to place the Vivistim implant. Within a few weeks, the doctor will likely clear the stroke survivor for rehab therapy. 6?? Participate in consistent Vivistim Therapy. In-clinic therapy typically lasts 6 weeks, a few times per week. The sessions are focused on active movement tasks while your therapist signals the Vivistim implant to deliver a gentle pulse to the vagus nerve. You can activate Vivistim with a simple Magnet swipe at home, during therapy exercises or daily activities, as you work to continue improving what matters to you most.

From frustration to hope to painting a pet portrait.?? Christy S. had a stroke in 2020 and was frustrated that she couldn't maintain her career as a veterinarian. Hard work in occupational therapy at Good Shepherd Rehabilitation paired with Vivistim helped change her perspective. “It is important to realize that progress with the Vivistim System is slow — on the order of 1/2 to 1 percent a day, but it adds up. I started to record myself performing tasks weekly so I can look back and see the progress. It helps me to stay motivated.” ~Christy S. ??: Pet portrait painted by Christy S., a stroke survivor and Vivistim user To learn more and review safety information, visit https://qrcodes.pro/vbdPY7.
