Clinical trials: Auricular Stimulation
Depression
Neural Alteration Response to Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation (taVNS) in Depressed Patients
Electrical vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) was approved by FDA for treatment of chronic recurrent depression in 2005. Recently, non-invasive, transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation （taVNS） has already been used for…
