“…There is no clear consensus on the optimal number of therapy sessions, yet our results show that more than 4 sessions are needed for there to be a significant VNS-driven improvement. 14,18,19 In these shortened VNS therapy schedules, the delivery of VNS itself does not seem to compensate for the reduced repetition of rehabilitation.…”

“…3 These antiquated policies have a substantial impact on IRF care, although both were implemented more than 40 yrs ago based solely on expert opinion, have had only minimal revision in the intervening decades (despite the pronounced changes in the US healthcare system), and remain without any significant scientific evidence base. [4][5][6] With respect to the "60%-rule" policy specifically, although medical diagnosis (and anticipated recovery) is one key factor in determining whether a particular patient is appropriate for IRF admission, physiatrists well know that several other factors must also be considered (e.g., premorbid, current, and anticipated function, planned discharge living setting, family/social support). 7,8 Based on an evaluation by the Institutes of Medicine, the US government has previously acknowledged that at least function, in addition to medical diagnosis, should be a key component of an IRF admission assessment.…”
