Stimulating Vagus nerve cuts AF by 85%
There's research showing an 85% reduction of AF through vagus nerve stimulation. This was done by passing a small current through the tragus (the little lump just in front of your earhole): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32192678

Help
Did the
VNS
cause this? They are not saying. Some reassurance from someone would help.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Rheumatoid Arthritis
I recently saw a news item on Sky News (from 2014) which showed a trial of Vagus Nerve Stimulation (
VNS
) that had proven very effective in the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Parasym tVNS device
Has anyone tried the Parasym transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation device (tVNS)? Info at Parasym.co It’s still awaiting FDA approval here in the US, but is apparently cleared for use in England (where it was developed), as well as in Europe and other countries. Dr. Hugh Calkins, my new EP at Johns

Vagus nerve stimulation for reducing AF
I was copyediting a cluster headache paper talking about an electro-stimulation device used on the vagus nerve to reduce these headaches, and wondered (as the vagus nerve is involved) if anyone had looked into it for AF. Turns out a study has finished that found an 85% reduction in AF over six months

Article and video on transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation (taVNA)
Don't know if anyone else is interested, but I came across a really great article (more of a how-to than a study) with an accompanying video: https://www.jove.com/video/58984/laboratory-administration-transcutaneous-auricular-vagus-nerve

Vagus Nerve Stimulation
Hi, I have had single sided tinnitus now for about 9 months. I have had the MRI stuff and with no abnormalities have been left to just get on with the kettle boiling sound in one ear. I have done the normal rounds of cranial sacral, meditation, yoga all, I am afraid, to no effect. Then I found this:

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
Has anyone here tried TMS and if so for what type of symptomatology? What were your results? I tried searching the archives and only came across a few scattered posts and nothing from anyone who has actually tried it for PD. My main goal for my mom is to reduced her resting tremor and improve her mood

I wonder if this works?!
The development of non-invasive
VNS
(transcutaneous
VNS
, tVNS) is safer and now much more accessible as it does not require surgery and can be used remotely.

VNS... what’s the word?
I’m talking to my doctor now about
VNS
and am trying to learn more about it. My understanding is that tool to use for treatment and becomes more helpful with time... I also hear about the side-effects. Can anyone comment on this ...or their experience?

These are papers about the use of thiamine
Fifteen days after the beginning of the therapy, we examined the patients and repeated the UPDRS, FSS and
VNS
(for patient number 3 only) tests (see table 1). The reference period for this study's observations was from 1 October 2012 to 31 January 2013.

Brilliant children's neurologist or epileptologist?
He'd suggested
VNS
. We were referred to GOSH in January 2017 where we had a brief meeting with new neurologist. They didn't seem particularly supportive and we felt as though a letter had probably preceded us from our neurologist.
