Non-Invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Patients With Acute Burn Injuries

4. Mai 2026 aktualisiert von: Sümeyye Akçay, Fenerbahce University

The Effects of Non-Invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation on Inflammatory Response and Functional Recovery in Patients With Acute Burn Injuries

This randomized controlled study will investigate the effects of non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation on inflammatory response and functional recovery in adults with acute burn injuries. Participants will be adults aged 18 to 65 years with second- or third-degree burns involving 5% to 30% of total body surface area and who are enrolled within the first 72 hours after hospitalization.

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The intervention group will receive non-invasive auricular vagus nerve stimulation in addition to conventional physiotherapy. The control group will receive conventional physiotherapy only. The stimulation will be applied through surface electrodes placed on the auricular region of the ear for 20 minutes per session, for a total of 10 sessions.

The main outcomes will be inflammatory response, assessed by C-reactive protein levels, and functional recovery, assessed by the Functional Independence Measure. Assessments will be performed before the intervention and after completion of the 10 treatment sessions.

Detaillierte Beschreibung

Burn injuries may trigger a systemic inflammatory response and lead to impaired functional recovery. Non-invasive auricular vagus nerve stimulation may modulate autonomic and inflammatory pathways and may support recovery in patients with acute burn injuries.

This randomized controlled study will be conducted in adults with acute second- or third-degree burn injuries involving 5% to 30% of total body surface area. Eligible participants will be enrolled within the first 72 hours after hospitalization and randomly assigned to an intervention group or a control group.

The intervention group will receive non-invasive auricular vagus nerve stimulation in addition to conventional physiotherapy. Stimulation will be delivered using surface electrodes placed on the auricular region of the ear. Each session will last 20 minutes, and the intervention will be administered for a total of 10 sessions. The control group will receive conventional physiotherapy only. Conventional physiotherapy will be planned according to individual clinical needs and may include strengthening exercises, stretching exercises, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, electrotherapy, balance exercises, fine motor activities, active range of motion exercises, and neurodevelopmental treatment approaches.

Outcome assessments will be performed before treatment and after completion of the 10 treatment sessions. Inflammatory response will be evaluated using C-reactive protein levels obtained from routine blood test records. Functional recovery will be evaluated using the Functional Independence Measure, joint range of motion, and muscle strength assessments.

Waffen und Interventionen

Teilnehmergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandlung
Experimental: Non-Invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation Plus Conventional Physiotherapy
Participants in this group will receive non-invasive auricular vagus nerve stimulation in addition to conventional physiotherapy. Stimulation will be applied through surface electrodes placed on the auricular region of the ear for 20 minutes per session, for a total of 10 sessions. Conventional physiotherapy will be provided according to individual clinical needs.
Gerät: Non-Invasive Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation
Non-invasive auricular vagus nerve stimulation will be applied using surface electrodes placed on the auricular region of the ear. Each session will last 20 minutes, and the intervention will be administered for a total of 10 sessions. Stimulation intensity will be adjusted according to the participant's sensory threshold and tolerance.
Sonstiges: Conventional Physiotherapy
Conventional physiotherapy will be planned according to individual clinical needs and may include strengthening exercises, stretching exercises, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, electrotherapy, balance exercises, fine motor activities, active range of motion exercises, and neurodevelopmental treatment approaches.
Aktiver Komparator: Conventional Physiotherapy
Participants in this group will receive conventional physiotherapy only. Physiotherapy will be planned according to individual clinical needs and may include strengthening exercises, stretching exercises, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, electrotherapy, balance exercises, fine motor activities, active range of motion exercises, and active range of motion exercises.

Ergebnis Maßnahme
Maßnahmenbeschreibung
Zeitfenster
Change in C-Reactive Protein Level
Zeitfenster: Baseline and Week 4, immediately after completion of the 10th treatment session
C-reactive protein level will be used to assess systemic inflammatory response. CRP values will be obtained from routine blood test records and recorded in mg/L.
Baseline and Week 4, immediately after completion of the 10th treatment session
Change in Functional Independence Measure Score
Zeitfenster: Baseline and Week 4, immediately after completion of the 10th treatment session
Functional recovery will be assessed using the Functional Independence Measure. The scale evaluates motor and cognitive independence in activities of daily living. Total scores range from 18 to 126, with higher scores indicating greater functional independence.
Baseline and Week 4, immediately after completion of the 10th treatment session
Change in Joint Range of Motion
Zeitfenster: Baseline and Week 4, immediately after completion of the 10th treatment session
Joint range of motion of joints affected by burn injury will be assessed using a universal goniometer. Measurements will be recorded in degrees.
Baseline and Week 4, immediately after completion of the 10th treatment session
Change in Muscle Strength
Zeitfenster: Baseline and Week 4, immediately after completion of the 10th treatment session
Muscle strength will be assessed using manual muscle testing. Relevant muscle groups affected by burn injury will be evaluated, with higher grades indicating greater muscle strength.
Baseline and Week 4, immediately after completion of the 10th treatment session
