Article Synopsis
- Recent studies have explored using near-infrared laser irradiation for nerve stimulation as an alternative to traditional electrical methods, specifically targeting the vagus nerve in preclinical applications.
- Research on rat models demonstrated that a 1505-nm diode laser can reliably stimulate the vagus nerve, with a safe temperature range established to avoid acute thermal injury.
- The laser method shows several advantages over electrical stimulation, including non-contact application, improved spatial selectivity, and lack of electrical interference, suggesting it may be a better option for vagus nerve stimulation with fewer side effects.
