Article Synopsis
- Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (TaVNS) is a non-invasive technique aimed at autonomic neuromodulation, with the placement of electrodes being crucial for its effectiveness.
- The study involved 76 healthy participants divided into four groups: in-ear TaVNS, behind-ear TaVNS, and their respective sham groups, with measurements taken for heart rate, blood pressure, and heart rate variability before and after stimulation.
- Results showed that in-ear TaVNS significantly decreased heart rate and blood pressure while increasing RMSSD (a heart rate variability measure), indicating it may be more effective than behind-ear TaVNS for autonomic modulation, although further research is needed.
