Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) uses gentle electrical impulses to stimulate the vagus nerve. The Vagus Nerve plays a key role in the parasympathetic nervous system, helping regulate rest, digestion, heart rate, and more.

The Vagus Nerve carries signals between the brain, heart, and digestive system, so when the signals are not working correctly, it can lead to widespread issues throughout the body. Research suggests that stimulating this nerve may help with conditions like depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, chronic pain, headaches, and even epilepsy.

In the past, most clinical VNS treatments involved implanted, invasive devices, but recently non-invasive, and even wearable Vagus Nerve Stimulation Devices are being introduced to the general market. The Pulsetto is such a device.

The Pulsetto uses electrical impulses on the neck area to help improve relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve overall wellbeing. Learn more about the how the Pulsetto Vagus Nerve Stimulator works.
