2016年1月11日 · The vagus nerve’s effects on autonomic nervous system functioning could easily account for the benefits thus far seen in fibromyalgia and other pain disorders. The vagus nerve boosts the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest) and reduces sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) system.

2022年12月17日 · If any treatment has promise, vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) does. Through its stimulation of the rest/digest system (the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS)), VNS has the potential to tamp down the fight/flight system that seems to be raging in chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), and quite […]

2022年2月3日 · Vagus Nerve Stimulation – the Future Clinical Trials. Suffice it to say that many disease groups are interested in using vagus nerve stimulation to calm the sympathetic nervous stimulation down and reduce inflammation, improve gut functioning, reduce anxiety, improve neuroplasticity, and so on.

2016年6月17日 · Parasympathetic Nervous System / Vagus Nerve Stimulating Options. Vagus nerve stimulation is getting ever more interesting. We’ve covered surgically implanted vagus nerve stimulators and non-invasive forms of vagus nerve stimulation on Health Rising in past stories. Now there’s Mestinon, and other possibilities are present.

2023年2月7日 · In “Key role of the gut–microbiota–brain axis via the subdiaphragmatic vagus nerve in demyelination of the cuprizone-treated mouse brain,” the researchers gave mice an MS-like condition, then cut the connection between their vagus nerve and their brain. The longest nerve in the body, the vagus nerve is the conduit between the immune ...

2024年5月25日 · Plus, work on manipulating the vagus nerve continues. Kevin Tracey’s work has shown that invasive vagus nerve stimulators can have profound effects on autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, and billions of dollars have recently been poured into developing electroceutical devices that can stimulate the vagus and other nerves in the body.

2024年1月12日 · The vagus nerve uses acetylcholine to assist every aspect of digestion including peristalsis (movement of food or stool through the digestive tract). Stomach acid production, the opening of the pyloric sphincter at the bottom of the stomach, gallbladder function, some pancreatic function, and opening of the Sphincter of Oddi (which allows bile ...

2015年5月14日 · Vagus nerve stimulation was stunningly helpful for about half the FM patients in Dr. Natelson’s study. While the patient interviewed by Dr. Christo was not pain free, the VNS allowed her to move from being bedridden to return to work, and hike and exercise, and largely to lead a normal life.

2024年12月24日 · However I practice 40 min. vagus nerve meditation every day. I also practice coherent breathing every day which really calms me down and puts me into a “zone” I dont want to get out of. My outbreath is always through an almost closed mouth to slow down the outbreath. I think this comes quite close to these tools.

2023年12月7日 · Interestingly, nicotine enhances the activity of the parasympathetic, or “rest and digest”, branch of the autonomic nervous system/vagus nerve which appears to have taken a hit in ME/CFS, FM and long COVID. The long-COVID nicotine saga began when studies (falsely, it turned out) appeared to show that smoking reduced long COVID severity.
