Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation
Ellrich J
Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology · 2019
Key finding
Whereas invasive VNS is an established neuromodulatory treatment in drug-resistant epilepsy, transcutaneous VNS (tVNS) of the auricular branch of the vagus nerve is suggested to be an alternative access path to the same neuronal network without invasiveness.
