摘要
Introduction: Non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation (nVNS) reduces infarct volume after transient ischemia in rats. Here, we tested the effect of nVNS in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and permanent ischemic brain injury models. Methods: ICH was induced by whole blood (n=24) or collagenase (n=24) injection into the striatum of adult male and female Wistar rats. 1-hour sham stimulation (n=16) or nVNS (n=32) was initiated 30 minutes after injection. Spontaneous circling, hindlimb retraction, and grasp ability were tested at 24 hours to measure functional deficit. Rats were euthanized 24 hours or one week after injury, and brain tissue was processed for water content analysis (n=24) and histology (n=24), respectively. Permanent ischemia was induced by filament occlusion of the right middle cerebral artery in adult male Wistar rats (n=18). Sham stimulation and nVNS initiated 30 minutes after the induction of ischemia were applied for 1 hour and 3 hours (n=6 per group). Rats were euthanized 24 hours later to measure infarct volume. Results: 1-hour nVNS was associated with a non-significant reduction in hematoma volume in both models of ICH (Fig). Animals treated with nVNS demonstrated better functional outcome at 24 hours after ICH ( p =0.042). There was no difference in brain edema between control and active treatment arms in both models of ICH. 3-hour nVNS reduced infarct volume by 21% in permanent ischemia ( p =0.047, Fig). Conclusion: The results of this study support prior evidence that nVNS may have a therapeutic potential in ischemic stroke. nVNS is currently being evaluated in two clinical studies (NCT03733431 and NCT04050501) for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke. The lack of adverse events in two different models of ICH in this study suggests that nVNS could be safely administered as early as an ambulatory setting before the stroke etiology (ischemic vs. hemorrhagic) has been determined.
