TVNS and depression

[Tess4]

Has anyone used a TVNS to stimulate the vagus for depression. I’ve read some papers that suggest some positive results but nothing written by people who have experience good or bad

Thanks

There are ways to stimulate the vagus nerve besides surgery. I think surgery is reserved for folks with seizure disorders, but I'm not a doc.

Thanks for the response. I was referring to the transcutaneous devices - which are like TENS devices applied to the neck or ear branch of the vagus nerve

Ah, yes: I have a TENS unit.

For me the natural methods work better.

Where would you place the TENS device? Sticky stuff in your hair? Do you have the link to the article?
