A pilot study assessing neurophysiological and cardiovascular effects of non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation in healthy subjects and patients with restless legs syndrome / vorgelegt von Elisabeth Veiz

Background: Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is an auspicious neurostimulation technique intensively investigated for its potential antidepressant, anticonvulsive, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Although the exact mechanisms of action are unknown, data suggest the involvement of several neurotransmitter systems modulated via direct and indirect projections from the brainstem to the limbic system and cerebral cortex. Despite promising study results, the clinical translation of taVNS is aggravated by the lack of suitable biomarkers indicating successful stimu....
