Previous studies have shown that vagus nerve stimulation can improve the prognosis of
traumatic brain injury. The aim of this study was to elucidate the mechanism of the
neuroprotective effects of vagus nerve stimulation in rabbits with brain explosive injury.
Rabbits with brain explosive injury received continuous stimulation (10 V, 5 Hz, 5 ms, 20
minutes) of the right cervical vagus nerve. Tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β and
interleukin-10 concentrations were detected in serum and brain tissues, and water content in …
