This pilot randomised controlled trial investigated the feasibility and potential therapeutic effects of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) in participants experiencing chronic pain associated with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). High recruitment and retention rates were achieved.

A perspective on automated rapid eye movement sleep assessment
Summary Rapid eye movement sleep is associated with distinct changes in various biomedical signals that can be easily captured during sleep, lending themselves to automated sleep staging using machine learning systems. Here, we provide a perspective on the critical characteristics of biomedical signals associated with rapid eye movement sleep and how ...

Ikelos‐Rating Scale: Validation of a Behavioural Severity Marker in REM Sleep Behaviour Disorder
ABSTRACT The Ikelos‐Rating Scale (Ikelos‐RS) is a new, expert‐interviewed and bedpartner‐reported severity marker assessing frequency and expression of isolated REM sleep behaviour disorder (iRBD), a precursor of clinical α‐synucleinopathies. This study aimed to validate the Ikelos‐RS in 180 patients with three‐night PSG‐confirmed iRBD (68.4 ± 8.3 ...

ABSTRACT Recent studies have shown that acoustic stimulation, a common neuromodulation technique, can enhance slow‐wave activity (SWA), which is associated with immune, autonomic nervous system activity and cognitive health benefits. Despite some disagreement, many studies suggest that maximising tone‐evoked SWA depends on the timing of the acoustic ...
