I realize the poster is hard to read. Feel free to go to the link for a better view. Basically, I was trying to see if TAVNS, transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation, would alter the HRV of patients while receiving acupuncture.
Having just attended a Neuromodulation Conference where my interest was in TAVNS, (Transcutaneous Vagal Nerve Stimulation), this study in patients in a vegetative state receiving daily TAVNS is pertinent. In this study the patients HRV improved over time. Any noninvasive

In this interview with Kevin Tracey, a neurobiologist interested in using surgically implanted electrodes to stimulate the vagus nerve, he and his interviewer postulate that Long Covid has autonomic dysfunction as part of the problem. Vagal dysfunction could be from
This is the abstract for my contribution to the International Neuromodulation Society World Congress in Barcelona May 21 to May 26th 2022. The post with a link to the actual poster is here. HEART RATE VARIABILITY AS BIOMARKER FOR
I wish I could say that I vehemently disagree with the conclusion of this literature review that TAVNS does not affect HRV. As mentioned in this post, it is perhaps because it requires repeated attempts. My studies in the clinic
I will be watching this ghrelin research carefully. I’m a bit skeptical of this research that promises effortless weight loss. On the other hand, I do believe that there are some powerful homeostatic mechanisms at play when the autonomic nervous
This article is emphasizing the significance of this recent Nature article. It is hard to overstate how groundbreaking the original article was. We need better, more sophisticated ways to stimulate acupuncture points in order to get the maximum anti-inflammatory and
