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 ...

30 Hz Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation Alleviates Abdominal Pain by Modulating EEG Activity in the α Frequency Band of the Brain. [PDF]

CNS Neurosci Ther
Persistent abdominal pain (PAP) is linked to reduced prefrontal alpha oscillations, correlating with pain severity. Our study found that 30 Hz transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) effectively enhanced these alpha rhythms in key prefrontal regions and was selected for intervention.

Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation for the Treatment of Myoarthropathic Symptoms Associated With Temporomandibular Disorders-A Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial. [PDF]

J Oral Rehabil
This pilot randomised controlled trial investigated the feasibility and potential therapeutic effects of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) in participants experiencing chronic pain associated with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). High recruitment and retention rates were achieved.

Innervation of the Human Cavum Conchae and Auditory Canal: Anatomical Basis for Transcutaneous Auricular Nerve Stimulation [PDF]

, 2017
The innocuous transcutaneous stimulation of nerves supplying the outer ear has been demonstrated to be as effective as the invasive direct stimulation of the vagus nerve for the treatment of some neurological and nonneurological disturbances.

Effects of Noninvasive Cervical Vagal Nerve Stimulation on Cognitive Performance But Not Brain Activation in Healthy Adults

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract Objectives While preliminary evidence suggests that noninvasive vagal nerve stimulation (nVNS) may enhance cognition, to our knowledge, no study has directly assessed the effects of nVNS on brain function and cognitive performance in healthy individuals.

Noninvasive vagus nerve stimulation alters neural response and physiological autonomic tone to noxious thermal challenge. [PDF]

, 2019
The mechanisms by which noninvasive vagal nerve stimulation (nVNS) affect central and peripheral neural circuits that subserve pain and autonomic physiology are not clear, and thus remain an area of intense investigation.

Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation with concurrent upper limb repetitive task practice for poststroke motor recovery: A pilot study. [PDF]

, 2018
Invasive vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has the potential to enhance the effects of physiotherapy for upper limb motor recovery after stroke. Noninvasive, transcutaneous auricular branch VNS (taVNS) may have similar benefits, but this has not been ...

International Consensus Based Review and Recommendations for Minimum Reporting Standards in Research on Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (Version 2020) [PDF]

, 2021
Given its non-invasive nature, there is increasing interest in the use of transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) across basic, translational and clinical research.
