Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Movement Disorders, from Principles to a Systematic Review of Evidence. [PDF]

Mov Disord
Abstract Background The vagus nerve (VN), the principal component of the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), mediates bidirec communication between the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral organs. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), delivered through invasive (iVNS) or non‐invasive (transcutaneous cervical [tcVNS] and ...

Laboratory Administration of Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation (taVNS): Technique, Targeting, and Considerations [PDF]

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2019
Non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) may be administered via a novel, emerging neuromodulatory technique known as transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS). Unlike cervically-implanted VNS, taVNS is an inexpensive and non-surgical method used to modulate the vagus system.

Combined effect of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation and 0.1 Hz slow-paced breathing on working memory

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
BackgroundPrevious research has found that transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) can improve working memory (WM) performance. It has also been shown that 0.1 Hz slow-paced breathing (SPB, i.e., breathing at a rate of approximately 6 ...

The efficacy and safety of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation in patients with mild cognitive impairment: A double blinded randomized clinical trial

Brain Stimulation, 2022
Background: There are 9.9 million new cases of dementia in the world every year. Short-term conversion rate from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to dementia is between 20% and 40%, but long-term in 5–10 years ranges from 60% to 100%.

Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation (TAVNS): Long-Term Effect on Neurodevelopment and Sensory Performance [PDF]

, 2021
Infants who do not succeed at early feeding are likely discharged from the nursery with a gastrostomy tube (G-tube), putting them at risk for worse neurodevelopmental and sensory outcomes than infants who achieve full oral feeds.

Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation Enhances Cerebrospinal Fluid Circulation and Restores Cognitive Function in the Rodent Model of Vascular Cognitive Impairment

Cells, 2022
Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) is a common sequela of cerebrovascular disorders. Although transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) has been considered a complementary treatment for various cognitive disorders, preclinical data on the

Evidence for a modulating effect of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) on salivary alpha-amylase as indirect noradrenergic marker: A pooled mega-analysis. [PDF]

, 2022
BACKGROUND Non-invasive transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) has received tremendous attention as a potential neuromodulator of cognitive and affective functions, which likely exerts its effects via activation of the locus ...

Effects of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation on pupillary responses in younger and older adults [PDF]

Alzheimers Dement
Abstract Background The locus coeruleus (LC) is an early site of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease. Its health and functional status are important correlates of, and potentially mediators of, disease progression. Improving the functional health of the LC may be possible using transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) to modulate ...
