The anti-inflammatory scan: current insights and future perspectives on therapeutic splenic ultrasonography

The Ultrasound Journal
Recent discoveries have identified that physiological anti-inflammatory reflexes are triggered by vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), which offers neuromodulation— performed via implantable or transcutaneous devices—potential therapeutic opportunities.

Pulmonary arterial mechanoreceptors modulate exercise‐induced sympathetic activation in healthy humans during moderate‐intensity hypoxic exercise

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend This randomized cross‐over trial (N = 12) addressed the hypothesis that selective reduction of pulmonary arterial pressure (i.e. manipulation of pulmonary arterial mechanoreceptor activation) during hypoxic exercise would reduce sympathetic outflow (muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA)) in healthy humans.

Role of the Autonomic Nervous System in Atrial Fibrillation: Pathophysiology and Therapy [PDF]

, 2014
Autonomic nervous system activation can induce significant and heterogeneous changes of atrial electrophysiology and induce atrial tachyarrhythmias, including atrial tachycardia (AT) and atrial fibrillation (AF).

Neuro‐Immune Crosstalk: Molecular Mechanisms, Biological Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Neurons, immune cells, and other cellular components within the disease microenvironment (such as stromal cells and tumor cells) constitute a dynamically evolving ecosystem. Neurons directly modulate immune cell activity and inflammatory responses through the release of neurotransmitters (e.g., norepinephrine and CGRP), while also promoting tumor ...

Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Ischemic Stroke: Old Wine in a New Bottle

Frontiers in Neurology, 2014
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is currently FDA-approved for treatment of both medically refractory partial-onset seizures and severe, recurrent refractory depression which have failed to respond to medical interventions.

Short-term effects of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation on T-wave alternans in people with focal epilepsy – An exploratory pilot study

Epilepsy & Behavior Reports
High levels of T-wave alternans (TWA) are linked to an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. People with epilepsy display elevated TWA levels that are decreased by chronic vagus nerve stimulation via implanted devices after 2–4 weeks or later.

Low-Level Transcutaneous Electrical Vagus Nerve Stimulation Suppresses Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2015
Transcutaneous low-level tragus electrical stimulation (LLTS) suppresses atrial fibrillation (AF) in canines.This study examined the antiarrhythmic and anti-inflammatory effects of LLTS in humans.Patients with paroxysmal AF who presented for AF ablation were randomized to either 1 h of LLTS (n = 20) or sham control (n = 20).
