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 ...

Human organ donor-derived vagus nerve biopsies allow for well-preserved ultrastructure and high-resolution mapping of myelinated and unmyelinated fibers

Scientific Reports, 2021
The vagus nerve provides motor, sensory, and autonomic innervation of multiple organs, and electrical vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) provides an adjunctive treatment option for e.g. medication-refractory epilepsy and treatment-resistant depression.

Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation improves dysautonomia, post-traumatic stress disorder and cognitive impairment in long covid patients: a pilot study

Scientific Reports
Long COVID is frequently associated with persistent autonomic dysfunction, cognitive impairment, and psychological distress, reflecting sustained neuroimmune and autonomic dysregulation. Effective disease-modifying therapies remain scarce.

Non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation is associated with the reduction in persistent post-concussion symptoms: an observational study

Frontiers in Neurology
IntroductionTraumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a major public health challenge, with mild TBI (mTBI) frequently resulting in persistent cognitive, affective, and somatic symptoms.

Metastasis on pause: How dormant tumor cells stay hidden within the tumor microenvironment and evade immune surveillance

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...

Retrospective post-hoc subgroup analysis of adjunctive non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation in chronic mTBI with comorbid PTSD

Frontiers in Neuroscience
IntroductionPersistent symptoms following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) remain a major clinical challenge. Patients with comorbid post-traumatic stress disorder (mTBI + PTSD) typically exhibit greater symptom burden and poorer outcome.

Organization of the Subdiaphragmatic Vagus Nerve and Its Connection with the Celiac Plexus and the Ovaries in the Female Rat

Brain Sciences, 2023
Communication between the ovaries and the central nervous system occurs by peripheral innervation through the celiac plexus, superior ovarian nerve, and ovarian plexus nerve.

The Gut–Heart Axis in Systemic Sclerosis: Evidence From a Large Prospective Early Disease Cohort

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Cardiac involvement significantly impacts prognosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc), highlighting the need for early risk stratification. Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are common and often manifest early. Emerging data suggest a link between GI and cardiac manifestations, possibly through shared mechanisms like dysautonomia.

Tissue‐Adhesive Fabric‐Based Bioelectronics for Wearable and Implantable Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An implantable and wearable bioelectronic textile (iTextile) is introduced as a unified platform bridging wearable and implantable systems. By integrating a self‐healing polymer, stretchable silk fabric, conductive composite electrodes, and an adhesive hydrogel, the platform enables conformal, stable interfacing with soft tissues. The iTextile supports
