Without getting under your skin: non-invasive stimulation activates the vagus nerve
Frontiers in NeuroscienceCervical non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation (nVNS) has emerged as a practical neuromodulation approach with FDA-cleared indications in primary headache disorders, yet skepticism persists over whether transcutaneous stimulation can reliably engage vagal

Successful removal and reimplant of vagal nerve stimulator device after 10 years
Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2012 The number of implanted vagal nerve stimulators is growing and the need for removal or revision of the devices will become even more frequent. A significant concern about Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) therapy is the presence of the spiral stimulating ...

Do the psychological effects of vagus nerve stimulation partially mediate vagal pain modulation?
Neurobiology of Pain, 2017 There is preclinical and clinical evidence that vagus nerve stimulation modulates both pain and mood state. Mechanistic studies show brainstem circuitry involved in pain modulation by vagus nerve stimulation, but little is known about possible indirect ...
