Understanding the Effects of Non-invasive Transauricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation (taVNS) on Neural Networks and Autonomic Nervous System: a Randomized Double-blind Sham-control Mechanistic Trial in Healthy Participants
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Transauricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) for Healthy Volunteers. Completed, enrolled 44 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This trial aims to perform an exploratory, mechanistic, randomized double-blind sham-control trial in healthy participants to assess the physiologic effects of a single 60 minutes session of bilateral taVNS, on neural networks and autonomic function.

Interventions
Transauricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS)device
Transauricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is a simple technique in which small surface electrodes are placed over the skin of the ear that are thought to be innervated by the auricular branch of the vagus nerve (ABVN).
