Conclusion
PD, gait impairments
taVNS can relieve gait impairments and remodel sensorimotor integration in PD patients.The 20 Hz transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) could relieve gait impairments and remodel sensorimotor integration in PD patients. The results provided insights into the neural mechanism of taVNS and a new neuromodulation method for treating gait impairments in PD patients.
