F.A.Qs

How will tVNS make me feel?

VNS can have a different effect on everybody, but generally people start to feel quite relaxed within 20-30 minutes. People have often reported they felt relaxed & sleepy within a few minutes of their first session, this is completely normal. Some people however, don't feel any immediate effects or difference, it can take a few sessions before feeling any improvement.

Is tVNS for everyone?

tVNS (transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation) is a promising therapeutic modality, but it is not necessarily suitable for everyone. Here are some considerations regarding its use:

Intended Use:

tVNS is primarily researched for certain conditions such as epilepsy, depression, and some types of headaches. While it's shown promise in these areas, it may not be effective for all medical conditions.

Individual Response

As with many treatments, individual responses to tVNS can vary. While some people might experience significant benefits, others might see limited or no effect.

Contraindications and Precautions

People with certain medical conditions or those using specific devices (like pacemakers) might need to approach tVNS with caution. It's essential to consult with a medical professional to assess any potential risks.

Side Effects

Some people might experience side effects from tVNS, such as local skin irritation, tingling, or discomfort at the stimulation site.

Expert Guidance

If someone is considering tVNS as a treatment option, it should be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional familiar with the method to ensure it's used correctly and safely.

Research and Development

The field of neuromodulation, including tVNS, is continuously evolving. As more research emerges, the list of conditions that can benefit from tVNS might expand, and the methodology might become more refined.

In summary, while tVNS has potential therapeutic benefits, it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. Potential users should consult with healthcare professionals to determine if tVNS is a suitable option for their specific needs and circumstances.

Session length

Treatment frequency is up to you, there is not standard recommendation. Start with 30 minutes and adjust accordingly.

Who shouldn't use VNS

It is not recommended for people who are pregnant and or people with medical implants such as pacemakers.
