Without getting under your skin: non-invasive stimulation activates the vagus nerve [PDF]
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

Proceedings of the IEEE, 2008 Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a safe and reliable treatment adjunct for patients with medically intractable epilepsy. It is both a preventive and an abortive form of therapy, potentially effective against both partial and generalized seizures in adults and children.

Brain Sciences, 2023 Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an effective surgical option for intractable epilepsy. Although the surgical procedure is not so complicated, vagus nerve detection is sometimes difficult due to its anatomical variations, which may lead to surgical ...

Journal of Affective Disorders Reports, 2023 This narrative review summarizes key aspects of vagus nerve function as a main player in the microbiota-gut-brain axis in depression. Gut microbes as well as their metabolites signal directly to the vagus nerve via specialized enteroendocrine cells ...

Human vagus nerve branching in the cervical region. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 BACKGROUND:Vagus nerve stimulation is increasingly applied to treat epilepsy, psychiatric conditions and potentially chronic heart failure. After implanting vagus nerve electrodes to the cervical vagus nerve, side effects such as voice alterations and ...

Neural Regeneration Research, 2022 Previous studies have shown that vagus nerve stimulation can improve patients’ locomotor function. The stimulation of the auricular vagus nerve, which is the only superficial branch of the vagus nerve, may have similar effects to vagus nerve stimulation.

The cross-sectional area of the vagus nerve is not reduced in Parkinson's disease patients
eNeurologicalSci, 2022 Background: Recent studies have revealed the importance of the gut brain axis in the development of Parkinson's disease (PD). It has also been suggested that the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the vagus nerve can be used in the diagnosis of PD.
