Before learning what a vagus nerve block is, what is a vagus nerve and it’s functions?The Vagus nerve is the 10th cranial nerve in the body. Among the cranial nerves, the vagus is the longest, traveling through the esophagus, lungs, and heart that carries a considerable amount of indicators from the organs to connect the […]
Healing the Vagus Nerve
Current research is greatly focused on the optimum function of the vagus nerve or in other words the vagal tone, especially with respect to its relationship with the management and treatment of chronic diseases. The vagus nerve spans from the brain stem up to the gut and provides power to the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). […]

Vagus Nerve Stimulation, Side Effects and Long Term Use
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a type of neuromodulation involving a device that sends electrical impulses to stimulate the vagus nerve. This treatment is done to alter the activity of the nerves. Vagus nerve stimulation(VNS) requires the implantation of a device that sends mild pulses of electrical energy through the vagus nerve in your neck […]
Current Control or Voltage Control?
Current control or Voltage control – what’s the difference, really? What is the difference between a voltage control and current controlled stimulator? We often get asked to explain the difference between a tens device – which is a voltage controlled output and our tVNS which is a current controlled output. They sound the same so […]
Where is the Vagus Nerve?
Vagus Nerve Anatomy-Where is the Vagus Nerve? Nerves play a very important role in our body. Nerves form the basis of message conduction in the body. Some take messages from the brain to the body via spinal cord and some nerve fibers are responsible for conducting messages from the body parts like organs to the […]
