Key Benefits for Patients
Certified Medical Device
tVNS® is the world's only non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation approved as a Class IIa medical device under the EU-MDR, offering a scientifically validated treatment for conditions related to sympathovagal imbalance.
Non-Invasive Approach
A safe and gentle alternative to surgery and medication, tVNS® stimulates the vagus nerve through the skin, offering a harmonious path to wellbeing with very low side-effects.
Most Effective Stimulation Site
tVNS® is the only non-invasive stimulation device that stimulates the cymba concha, resulting in 100% vagus nerve innervation (as opposed to e.g. the tragus, which only results in 45% innervation).
Minimal Side
Effects
Transitioning away from traditional medications often aims to reduce side effects. tVNS®, as a drug-free therapy, offers a safer alternative with lower risk of long-term adverse effects.

What is tVNS®?
Elevating patient treatment options with non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation for the treatment of neurological diseases
When traditional pharmacological or invasive treatments fall short or present challenging side effects, tVNS® offers an effective and patient-friendly treatment option.
The vagus nerve, central to our body’s nervous system, plays a critical role in maintaining homeostasis. tVNS®, or Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation, harnesses the therapeutic potential of this nerve through targeted stimulation of its auricular branch, accessible within the ear.
This innovative approach utilizes gentle electrical impulses to modulate the vagus nerve’s activity, encouraging a state of balance across the body’s systems. The result? A reduction in the symptoms of neurological diseases associated with sympathovagal imbalance, achieved through a method that avoids the invasiveness of surgery and the side effects associated with medication. Approved as a Class IIa medical device under the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR), tVNS® sets a new standard in the treatment of neurological conditions, offering a blend of efficacy, safety, and simplicity.
tVNS® is indicated to treat the following conditions:
✓Anxiety
✓Atrial fibrillation
✓Autism
✓Cognitive Impairment
✓Depression
✓Epilepsy
✓Irritable Bowel Syndrome
✓Inflammatory Bowel Disease
✓Migraines
✓Parkinson's Disease
✓Prader-Willi Syndrome
✓Sleep Disorders
✓Systemic Sclerosis
✓Tinnitus
Treatment with tVNS® is characterized by its simplicity and adaptability to everyday life. At its core, tVNS® operates on the principle of neurostimulation, a process that engages the vagus nerve’s capacity to influence various bodily functions and systems. tVNS® stimulates the auricular branch of the vagus nerve (ABVN) through the skin with gentle and precise electrical impulses that propagate therapeutic signals to the brain, first to the brain stem and then to higher centers, aiming to correct dysregulation within the nervous system.
The application of tVNS® is designed with the patient in mind: it is easy, portable, and discreet, making it possible to incorporate treatment sessions into your schedule without interruption to your daily tasks. Whether you’re at home, in the office, or traveling, tVNS® provides a consistent and accessible means to manage symptoms of neurological disorders, including the reduction of seizure frequencies in epilepsy, among other conditions.
Each session with the tVNS® device is a step towards rebalancing the nervous system, leveraging the natural pathways of the body to foster healing and symptom relief. The device’s ease of use ensures that starting and maintaining a regimen with tVNS® is straightforward, empowering users to take control of their health in a non-intrusive, effective manner.
How does treatment with tVNS® work?
Patients can use tVNS® anytime, anywhere. It's easy to use, portable, and discrete.
Research and Patient App
Your tVNS® R device gives you access to two apps: the tVNS® Research and tVNS® Patient app. All technical parameters can easily be reprogrammed and wirelessly transmitted with the tVNS® Research app, allowing the researcher to try completely new stimulation protocols. In addition, you can collect and store technical and patient data.
The tVNS® Patient app automatically stores all technical data (stimulation parameters, time and duration of the stimulation etc.) and offers a questionnaire for patient feedback.
tVNS® Patient is fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), ensuring that patient data is handled with the utmost care and confidentiality.
