What Are the Benefits of Vagus Nerve Stimulation With Ultrasound?

What is Ultrasound Vagus Nerve Stimulation?

Typically referred to as uVNS to shorten it, this is a modality of stimulation that has many benefits to increasing Parasympathetic function in the human body.

Using high frequency sound waves we can now selectively stimulate neurons throughout the body.

Ultrasound as a tool to elicit neuronal excitation is actually quite old.

Beginning in the 1950's and 60's in the United States and USSR, researchers quickly learned about the power of focused Ultrasound on central neurons in the brain, and peripheral neurons in arms and legs to be stimulated with tiny burst tones of Ultrasound.

This technology development has evolved and grown to be quite a complex therapeutic intervention.

Ultrasound is now being used to image the brain in real-time, replacing expensive fMRI machines at a fraction of the cost and size.

Ultrasound is being utilized to treat inflammatory disorders, as well as fighting Covid infections with remarkable success.

What Is Being Stimulated?

Neurons are being stimulated to "activate" the same way a muscle contracts when you consciously control it.

Inside of a neuron there is a world of complex interworking systems.

Ultrasound is able to induce the activation of Calcium Ion channels, which allows a neuron to activate, as if by conscious control.

In this case it's simply a short pulse of Ultrasound waves that gently bounce off the walls of a single human neuron.

What Are The Observed Benefits of Using Ultrasound for Vagus Nerve Stimulation?

Benefits refer to anything that is relieving, taking away an unpleasant sensation or symptom, and/or producing an outcome that the subject appreciates and is helped by.

These will be from both an objective (blood tests, scientific body measurements, etc) ranging all the way to subjective (self-reported, short term, or long term reports, etc.)

Benefits of Vagus Nerve Stimulation:

Improved mood
Loss of anxiety
Weight loss
Better social skills
Lowered insulin resistance
Normalized blood sugar levels
Decreased pain
Improvement in cognitive function & ability
Better memory
Elimination of insomnia
Improved sleep
More vivid dreams
Massive reduction in tinnitus ringing
More vocal melody when speaking
Less monotonous speaking style
More meditative & mindful thinking style
Reduction in stress
More salivation
Better digestion
Relaxed facial expression
Reduction in facial tension
Reduction of TMJ pain
Increased hopefulness
Better reaction to stressful events
Decreased circulating TNF inflammatory cytokines
Reduction in sugar cravings
Better executive & problem solving ability
Deeper breathing
More variable heart rate
Stronger muscle tone
Decreased musculoskeletal weakness
Reduced neck & shoulder pain
Increased focus
Increase in BDNF (Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor)
Increased growth in hippocampus and memory processing centers
Reduced fear
Increased confidence in self
Enhanced future projection & visualization ability
Reduction in negative self talk
Increased sexual function
Increase in sexual desire, and libido
Reduction in anti-depressant caused erectile dysfunction
Increase in female sexual function
Normalization of female period cycle
Reduction in some symptoms of PMS

And the list can go on, and on.

Conclusion

Ultrasound has proven itself, time and time again, to hold remarkable potential to restore proper function to central and peripheral neurons in the human body.

While it may seem as if this is a "new" technology, it's actually very old and widely accepted to be incredibly safe to use in and on the human body.

What we have found to be most important is how one uses Ultrasound.

Our closing recommendation in selecting an Ultrasound device for stimulating your Vagus Nerve is to work with a practicioner, as they can fine-tune a treatment protocol for you.

Some people respond to Ultrasound really fast, within 15 minutes post-stimulation. Some people have incredibly vivid dreams within their first week of starting their protocol.

This has everything to do with using a protocol that has been used safely before, and matches the clients specific symptoms.
