Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation of the Vagus Nerve via the Ear – A Brief Overview (English)
Abstract [sv]

Den här rapporten ger en översikt av den vetenskapliga litteraturen om användningen av elektrisk neuromodulering av det autonoma nervsystemet genom icke-invasiv transkutan aurikulär vagusnervstimulering, taVNS. Vagusnerven kan på ett icke-invasivt och säkert sätt stimuleras elektriskt via öronen med hjälp av vanligt förekommande apparatur för transkutan elektrisk nervstimulering, TENS. Ett stort antal prekliniska och kliniska studier har publicerats de senaste åren som beskriver mekanismerna för hur taVNS fungerar och dess potentiella kliniska användning, särskilt som en kompletterande behandling för olika medicinska tillstånd. De huvudsakliga verkningsmekanismerna verkar vara att taVNS kan minska sympatisk tonus, ha antiinflammatoriska effekter, öka plasticiteten i centrala nervsystemet samt ändra neurotransmission och funktionella kopplingar mellan olika delar av hjärnan. Stimulering av vagusnerven genom öronen erbjuder god patientsäkerhet och kan enkelt och skonsamt utföras till låg ekonomisk kostnad.

Abstract [en]

This report provides an overview of the scientific literature on the use of electrical neuromodulation of the autonomic nervous system through non-invasive transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS). The vagus nerve can be electrically stimulated in a non-invasive and safe manner via the ears using commonly available transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) equipment. A large number of preclinical and clinical studies have been published in recent years describing the mechanisms of how taVNS works and its potential clinical applications, particularly as an adjunctive treatment for various medical conditions. The main mechanisms of action seem to be that taVNS can reduce sympathetic tone, have anti-inflammatory effects, increase plasticity in the central nervous system, and alter neurotransmission and functional connectivity between different parts of the brain. Stimulation of the vagus nerve through the ears offers good patient safety and can be performed easily and gently at a low economic cost.
