Although Vivistim doesn’t apply to my type of stroke (hemorrhagic), I thought it was still worth sharing for others who may benefit.
AdventHealth is an approved provider for those recovering from ischemic strokes, and they offer Vagal Nerve Stimulation (VNS) through the Vivistim System:
I reached out directly and, to their credit, they were honest and transparent with me. Here's the reply I received:
Subject: Vivistim Reply
Thank you for your interest in Vivistim. We are sorry to hear about your stroke. Unfortunately, Vivistim is only approved for use in ischemic stroke survivors. There is a chance we will perform a study with hemorrhagic survivors in the future. If you would like, we can keep your information on file and contact you if we do start a hemorrhagic study. For more information on stroke recovery, visit stroke.org for additional resources. Please let me know if you have any other questions and I wish you the best in your recovery.

If you or someone you know has had an ischemic stroke, this could be a promising avenue to explore.
