Acupuncture for Major Depressive Disorder: Exploring the Gut Microbiota as a Novel Therapeutic Pathway

Brain and Behavior, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
Acupuncture at GV20 and ST36 alleviates depression by modulating gut microbiota, increasing beneficial bacteria, and enhancing neuroactive metabolites like Sphinganine 1‐phosphate, thereby restoring neuronal activity and reducing depressive behaviors. ABSTRACT Aims This study investigates the efficacy of acupuncture at Baihui (GV20) and Zusanli (ST36 ...

Acupuncture's Multisystem Neuroimmunomodulation: Central–Peripheral Interactions in Gastroenteric, Psychiatric, and Chronic Pain Disorders

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.
This work elucidates acupuncture's multisystem therapeutic mechanisms through central‐peripheral crosstalk. Using functional gastrointestinal disorders, psychiatric disorders, and chronic pain models, we demonstrate its efficacy in rebalancing gut‐brain signaling, neuroimmune‐endocrine integration, and humoral network modulation.

Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation Treatment for Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea

JAMA Dermatology
ImportanceTreatment of facial flushing and erythema for patients with erythematotelangiectatic rosacea (ETR) is challenging. Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) therapy may be beneficial for treating ETR; however, it has not been rigorously evaluated in a randomized clinical trial.ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of taVNS for ETR ...

Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation Alleviates Monobenzone-Induced Vitiligo in Mice

International Journal of Molecular Sciences
Vitiligo is a complex skin disorder that involves oxidative stress and inflammatory responses and currently lacks a definitive cure. Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is a noninvasive method for targeting the auricular branch of the vagus nerve and has gained widespread attention for potential intervention in the autonomic ...

An alternative therapy for drug-resistant epilepsy: transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation

Chinese Medical Journal, 2014
Background Previous studies demonstrated that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an effective therapy for drug-resistant epilepsy. Acupuncture is also used to treat epilepsy. This study was designed to examine the safety and effectiveness of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (ta-VNS) for patients with drug ...

Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation can modulate fronto-parietal brain networks

Frontiers in Neuroscience
ObjectiveRecent studies have shown that transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation (tVNS) holds promise as a treatment for neurological or psychiatric disease through the ability to modulate neural activity in some brain regions without an invasive procedure.

Assessing a Stimulator Modification for Simultaneous Noninvasive Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation and MRI

Journal of Neuroimaging, Volume 35, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Purpose The vagus nerve can be stimulated noninvasively at the ear using transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS). Concurrent functional MRI (fMRI) permits study of taVNS‐induced changes in brain dynamics, a key requisite for precision neurostimulation. However, there is no standardized protocol for how to safely

Opportunities and trends of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation

Gut Microbiota and Integrative Wellness
Background: After more than two decades of development, transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) has surpassed its role as a mere alternative to VNS and is now applied to various disorders. This study presents a bibliometric analysis to evaluate the global scientific output of taVNS research, aiming to describe its current status and ...
