Improvement in Facial Seborrheic Dermatitis Following Cervical Transcutaneous Vagal Nerve Stimulation

Papers & Articles

Full Post A case report published in JAAD Case Reports (July 2025) explores the potential benefits of cervical transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) in treating seborrheic dermatitis, a chronic inflammatory skin condition. The report describes a 56-year-old man who began using a non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation device for headaches and subsequently experienced significant improvement in […]

Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation Improves Dysautonomia in Patients with Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

Papers & Articles

Full Post A newly published study in Neurological Sciences examined the use of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) in patients with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) experiencing disabling dysautonomia. Dysautonomia is common in hEDS and can contribute to symptoms including orthostatic intolerance, gastrointestinal dysfunction, vasomotor instability, fatigue, and other multisystem complaints. The researchers investigated whether

Vagus Nerve Stimulation and the Gut–Brain Axis in Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Papers & Articles, Publications of Note

Full Post A recently published article in Frontiers in Neuroscience examines the potential of vagus nerve stimulation as an integrative add-on therapy for neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and epilepsy. The authors describe the microbiota–gut–brain axis as a bidirectional communication network connecting the gastrointestinal system and the brain through neural, immune,
