Vagus Nerve Stimulation Eliminates PTSD in Trial
Tap title to read story
A groundbreaking Phase 1 clinical trial showed that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) combined with prolonged exposure therapy completely eliminated PTSD diagnoses in all nine participants for up to six months. This innovative approach, utilizing a miniaturized implanted device, enhances neuroplasticity, addressing the limitations of traditional therapies for treatment-resistant PTSD. A larger, double-blind Phase 2 trial is underway to confirm these promising results and seek FDA approval, offering potential relief for millions suffering from this debilitating disorder.
