Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS) Enhances Divergent Thinking
Highlights of Research A clinical study investigated transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS). Results indicate tVNS stimulates afferent fibers of the vagus nerve; and, that tVNS enhances creativity performance in divergent thinking. Divergent thinking is a thought process or methodology that is used to generate creative ideas by exploring a number of possible solutions to a problem. ...

The Vagus Nerve - What is it and why is it so important to our health?
Key points The vagus nerve controls many unconscious processes in the body The vagus neural network interfaces with inflammatory, mood and pain regulation. This can be utilised for its neuromodulatory effect in activating restorative pathways. The vagus nerve has been called the ‘great wandering protector’ of the body, it’s made up of an intricate neural network that ...

Vagus Nerve Stimulation
Disambiguation The process of stimulating the Vagus Nerve with micropulses of electrical current is referred to in a number of different ways. Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) - Typically refers to stimulation of the nerve with a surgically implanted device and electrode. Non-invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS, taVNS, nVNS, LLTS) - Refers to stimulation of the vagus nerve without ...

Can We Predict Treatment Success in tVNS?
Predicting Treatment Success Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) has recently emerged as a promising treatment for depression and an effective mood enhancer, showing benefits over similar treatments including traditional vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) which is invasive and costly. tVNS targets the auricular branch of the vagus nerve and works by applying a small electrical stimulation ...

Pelvic Autonomic Nerve Mapping Around the Prostate by Intraoperative Electrical Stimulation With Simultaneous Measurement of Intracavernous and Intraurethral Pressure
Purpose: In previous studies we noted that the neurovascular bundle was not identical to the bundle of the cavernous nerve fibers. In this study we sought to prove these anatomical findings electrophysiologically and map the autonomic nerve fibers by intraoperative simultaneous measurement of intracavernous pressure and intraurethral pressure. Materials and Methods: Between January 2004 and May ...

Effect of Low FrequencyTranscutaneous Magnetic Stimulation on Sensory and Motor Transmission - Case Study
INTRODUCTION After a peripheral nerve injury, fast conducting large myelinated afferent A-bcta fiber transmission diminishes over time. On the other hand, firing of smaller pain transmitting fibers such as A-dclta and C-fibcrs is enhanced. This aberrant afferent neuronal behavior is thought to be one of the main neuronal mechanisms leading to development of chronic posttraumatic peripheral ...

Mood enhancement and Neural Network Modulation with Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS)?
Depression and the vagus nerve Depression affects millions of people worldwide and constitutes a leading cause of disability. Although pharmacological interventions are available, many of them produce suboptimal outcomes due to high non-responsive rates or intolerable side effects. It has been estimated that between 20 to 40 per cent of patients either failed to respond to conventional ...

Results of Using a New Technology to Improve the Identification and Preservation of Nerve Tissue during Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy
Introduction & Objectives Efforts to improve continence after robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP) have focused on preserving periurethral and bladder neck tissue and techniques involving posterior reconstructions and anterior suspensions. Many patients, however, still have varying degrees of urinary incontinence. Literature has shown that nerves innervating the levator ...

The Parasym Device? Significantly Increases Parasympathetic Activity?
Autonomic Balance The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) and sympathetic nervous system (SNS) both work in balance and together make up the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which is responsible for many of the bodies autonomic (unconscious) processes. The parasympathetic system has been referred to as 'rest and digest' and the sympathetic system to that of 'fight or flight'. Activating the PNS ...

The 7-Steps to Recuperation from Stroke Arm Paralysis
About two-thirds of those that experience arm paralysis after stroke are unable to fully use their affected limb six months after stroke (1-3). Not having a fully functional arm and hand after a stroke is not only frustrating but also devastating to many individuals. Day-to-day operations and activities of daily living become more difficult, take longer to complete, and may require assistance ...

Therapies and Treatments for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
What is CRPS Complex regional pain syndrome, formerly RSD, is a rare but extremely complex and serious pain condition. While it might only affect about 200,000 people in the United States, those who suffer from it experience excruciating pain and often debilitating side effects. There is no cure yet, but there are multiple treatment options offering varying degrees of relief. CRPS can cause ...

Understanding and Treating Diabetic Neuropathy
What is diabetic neuropathy? The most common complication of diabetes is neuropathy, which is nerve damagecaused by high blood sugar. Most neuropathy affects the legs, hands and feet and usually presents as numbness, pain or tingling. Diabetic neuropathy can also seriously impact the heart, blood vessels, digestive system and the kidneys. Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to extreme pain. ...

Conceptual Considerations for Device-Based Therapy in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure
Abstract Acute decompensated heart failure remains the most common cause of hospitalization in older adults, and studies of pharmacological therapies have yielded limited progress in improving outcomes for these patients. This has prompted the development of novel device–based interventions, classified mechanistically based on the way in which they intend to improve central hemodynamics, ...
