We recommend 15 mins per day. This follows some of the latest research that aims for the ideal balance between time commitment and efficacy.
However, many studies have shown that longer periods of stimulation (45 mins) can in some circumstances be more beneficial to some people. If you feel you may benefit from longer daily stimulation, the vagus.net simulator can be used in multiple consecutive sessions.

The Most Important Nerve In Your Body
Vagus Nerve Innervations
Nerves are your body’s sensing and control system. They are formed from long chains of neurons, the same cells that make up your brain. Some nerves pass down your spinal column, but others exit the brain directly into parts of the body; these are called cranial nerves, of which your vagus nerve is the longest and most complex.
The vagus nerve is part of the braking system -- the parasympathetic branch. It attempts to slow your body down and promote relaxation and healing.

Understand Vagal Tone & Functions
Decline in the activity of the nerve, particularly as we age, is linked to many minor health issues, such as mood changes, disruption of sleep patterns, problems with digestion and immune system strength, and reduced capacity for exercise.
Vagal tone can be improved using a range of techniques such as meditation, massages and mindfulness as well as good eating and exercise regimes. But recent studies have found a new method.
Non-invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation
Scientists and medics are increasingly recommending the use of vagal nerve stimulation as a path to healthier ageing.
Daily stimulation of the vagus nerve using micro electrical pulses has been shown to have a positive effect on health and wellbeing.

How long should I stimulate for?
Is tVNS Painful?
No, tVNS does not have to be painful. You are in control of the stimulation level and should set it to a comfortable level.
Most people describe the sensation as like a tingling or prickle sensation. It is usually more noticable at the start of the session and then fades away.
What's the difference between vagusnet and a TENS machine?
There is actually a big difference. Most tens machines are voltage-controlled, while the vagusnet stimulator is a current-controlled device. We advice against the use of standard TENS machine in the stimulation of the vagus nerve. To learn why, read our blog post "Should you use a tENS Macgine for Vaugs Nerve stimulation" on the subject.
