Vagus nerve stimulation: State of the art of stimulation and recording strategies to address autonomic function neuromodulation [PDF]

, 2016
International audienceObjective. Neural signals along the vagus nerve (VN) drive many somatic and autonomic functions. The clinical interest of VN stimulation (VNS) is thus potentially huge and has already been demonstrated in epilepsy.

Randomized Cross Over Study Assessing the Efficacy of Non-invasive Stimulation of the Vagus Nerve in Patients With Axial Spondyloarthritis Resistant to Biotherapies: The ESNV-SPA Study Protocol

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021
Axial spondyloarthritis (SpA), is a major cause of chronic pain and disability that profoundly alters the quality of life of patients. Nearly half of patients with SpA usually develop drug resistance. Non-pharmacological treatments targeting inflammation

Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS) Enhances Response Selection During Sequential Action [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology, 2018
Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) is a non-invasive and safe technique that transiently enhances brain GABA and noradrenaline levels. Although tVNS has been used mainly to treat clinical disorders such as epilepsy, recent studies indicate it is also an effective tool to investigate and potentially enhance the neuromodulation of action ...

Bi-modal stimulation in the treatment of tinnitus: a study protocol for an exploratory trial to optimise stimulation parameters and patient subtyping [PDF]

, 2017
Introduction: Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the absence of a corresponding external acoustic stimulus. Bi-modal neuromodulation is emerging as a promising treatment for this condition.

From Tobacco to Ultraprocessed Food: How Industry Engineering Fuels the Epidemic of Preventable Disease

The Milbank Quarterly, EarlyView.
Policy Points Ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) are engineered to heighten reward and accelerate delivery of reinforcing ingredients, driving compulsive consumption and disrupting appetite regulation. This is a growing challenge for health policy. UPFs share key engineering strategies adopted from the tobacco industry, such as dose optimization and hedonic ...

Clinical Research Progress of the Post-Stroke Upper Limb Motor Function Improvement via Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation

Neural Plasticity, 2023
Stroke is a disease with high morbidity and disability, and motor impairment is a common sequela of stroke. Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is a type of non-invasive stimulation, which can effectively improve post-stroke motor ...

Enhancement of temporal processing via transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation

Brain Stimulation
AbstractBackgroundThe vagus nerve, a crucial component of the parasympathetic nervous system, serves as a vital communication link between the brain and body. Recent studies indicate that auricular stimulation of the vagus nerve can influence executive functions by increasing activity in brain regions like the prefrontal cortex.

Transcutaneous cervical vagus nerve stimulation improves sensory performance in humans

, 2023
AbstractAccurate senses depend on high-fidelity encoding by sensory receptors and error-free processing in the brain. Progress has been made towards restoring damaged sensory receptors. However, methods for on-demand treatment of impaired central sensory processing are scarce. Prior invasive studies demonstrated that continuous vagus nerve stimulation (
