Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS) is a therapeutic non-invasive technique that uses electrical stimulation to activate the vagus nerve , a crucial component of the autonomic nervous system. tVNS is performed using a TENS machine (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), which is a portable and non-invasive device that delivers electrical stimulation to the skin surface using specialised TENS ear clip electrodes.
Studies have shown that transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) using a TENS machine can have therapeutic results that are comparable to those of vagus nerve stimulation, its invasive equivalent (VNS).
Suitable for individuals or professionals who plan to use tVNS to treat themselves or their clients.
There are numerous well-documented and researched advantages to using a TENS machine to stimulate the vagus nerve through the outer ear. The key VNS points of importance have been underlined.
Boosts "rest and digest" parasympathetic activity and reduces "fight or flight" sympathetic activity in adults.
Quality of life, mood and sleep changes may be improved with transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation administered for 15 minutes every day for two weeks.
Improvements in depression, anger, tension, confusion and low energy.
Conditions like leaky gut, gut dysbiosis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, heart disease Alzheimer’s disease and chronic fatigue syndrome are associated low activity of the vagus nerve.
Vagus nerve stimulation helps prevent and lessen the recovery time from seizures by sending, mild eletrical pulses to the brain via the vagus nerve.

Professional tVNS Custom TENS Machine Bundle
tVNS has gained significant attention in recent years due to its potential to treat a wide range of conditions, including anxiety, depression, chronic pain, epilepsy, and inflammatory bowel disease. The technique works by modulating the activity of the vagus nerve, which plays a central role in regulating various physiological processes, including heart rate, digestive function, and immune response.
One of the main benefits of tVNS is that it is a non-invasive and drug-free alternative to traditional treatments for various conditions. Unlike drugs, tVNS does not have any adverse side effects, making it a safe option for individuals who are prone to drug interactions or have medical conditions that prevent them from taking medication.
tVNS is also highly portable and can be performed anywhere, at any time, making it an ideal option for individuals who lead an active lifestyle or have mobility limitations. Additionally, the use of a TENS machine allows for greater control over the stimulation parameters, such as intensity and frequency, providing individuals with a highly customizable treatment option.
Another important benefit of tVNS is that it has been shown to have a positive impact on physical and mental well-being. By modulating the activity of the vagus nerve, tVNS can improve mood, reduce anxiety and depression, and enhance immune function. Additionally, the reduction of chronic pain and inflammation can lead to improved mobility and flexibility, promoting physical fitness.
In the field of chronic pain management, tVNS has shown promising results in reducing pain intensity and improving quality of life. The electrical stimulation delivered by the TENS machine can block pain signals being sent to the brain, reducing the perception of pain. Additionally, tVNS can activate the body's natural painkillers, such as endorphins, further reducing the perception of pain.
tVNS has also been studied for its potential to treat epilepsy. Research has shown that the stimulation of the vagus nerve can reduce the frequency and severity of seizures, providing a promising alternative for individuals who do not respond to traditional antiepileptic drugs.
In conclusion, the use of tVNS using a TENS machine has the potential to provide significant benefits for individuals suffering from a wide range of conditions. It is a non-invasive, drug-free, and highly customizable alternative to traditional treatments, offering individuals a safe and effective way to manage their symptoms and improve their overall well-being. While more research is needed to fully understand the potential of tVNS, the current evidence suggests that it is a promising therapeutic option for individuals seeking a more holistic and natural approach to managing their health and well-being.
Reviews
The machine (Comfy Plus) comes in a soft carry carrying case that is compact and good quality. . The price point for this unit is very good as it is easy to use and does bring pain relief and comes with clips for when I want to use it for vagus nerve.
Works well so far purchased the Multistim R with the clips which was recommended
Does the job and the clips are of good quality. Strong springs compared to cheaper alternatives on the market
Fast post. Ear clips work great
