Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) is a non‐invasive neurostimulation
technique that is currently being tested as a potential treatment for a myriad of neurological …

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is widely used to treat drug-resistant epilepsy and

The idea that we can influence neurons with electricity is not new. Earlier this century
patients were treated, and still are, with electro convulsive therapy as a treatment for severe …

Introduction Invasive vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) improves word recognition memory in
patients with epilepsy. Recent studies with transcutaneous VNS (tVNS) have also shown …

Objective: Transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation (taVNS) may benefit cognition
in healthy adults but may differentially affect specific domains of cognitive function. Currently …

The vagus nerve is the longest nerve in the human body, providing afferent information
about visceral sensation, integrity and somatic sensations to the CNS via brainstem nuclei to …

Several studies have illustrated that transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) can
elicit therapeutic effects that are similar to those produced by its invasive counterpart, vagus …

Invasive cervical vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is approved for the treatment of epilepsies,
depression, obesity, and for stroke-rehabilitation. The procedure requires surgery, has side …
