Now, a new year-long trial of a treatment that involves electrically stimulating the vagus nerve has found promising results for people suffering with exactly this type of this 'treatment-resistant' ...

Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse, or ...

The nervous system is the body’s command centre and we rely on it to survive. It guides almost everything we think, feel, and do by allowing the body to process and respond to information. With that ...

Gluten neuropathy refers to damage that can occur to peripheral nerves in people with gluten sensitivity. Peripheral nerves are the nerves that travel from the spine and the brain to the other areas ...

The nervous system is the body’s direct communication system. It’s made up of the body’s many nerve cells. These cells work together in a network that sends and receives signals from one ...

Optic neuritis (ON) is an inflammation that damages your optic nerve. It can cause vision loss and pain when you move your eyes. As the inflammation goes away, your symptoms usually get better ...

The authors provide a solid set of data supporting the safety of transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation on cardiovascular parameters in the acute setting of critically ill patients ...

This study evaluated the role of transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation (taVNS) in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) randomized to taVNS vs sham, finding that those with active ...

Vagus Nerve Stimulation therapy is a treatment for epilepsy that involves a stimulator (or 'pulse generator') which is connected, inside the body, to the left vagus nerve in the neck. The stimulator ...

“We know that the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway is a regulatory mechanism that uses the vagus nerve to reduce inflammation,” she said. Aside from inhibiting production of TNF ...

(via SciShow) The vagus nerve is kind of a wellness it-girl right now. But some of the claims that influencers make about it are a little... out there. So we decided to do some research and get to the ...

Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is a promising non-pharmacological and non-invasive intervention that targets key pathways involved with PN. However, research is needed to ...
