A group of Texas-based researchers has developed an effective way to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that involves zapping the vagus nerve around the neck, using a device the size of a ...

In the study, scientists paired this therapy with concurrent delivery of short bursts of stimulation of the vagus nerve via a small device implanted in a participant's neck. After a standard 12 ...

Many are exciting, but few have intrigued me as much as vagus nerve stimulation. To understand why, you first have to grasp just how remarkable the vagus nerve is – and there is probably no one ...

researchers at Northwell Health’s Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research are investigating a promising new approach in which vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) interacts with growth factor-β (TGF ...

Pulsetto is a wearable device that uses vagus nerve stimulation to reduce stress and improve sleep. The device is non-invasive and works by sending electrical impulses to the vagus nerve ...

In the study, scientists paired this therapy with concurrent delivery of short bursts of stimulation of the vagus nerve via a small device implanted in a participant's neck. After a standard 12 ...
