An Effective Method for Acute Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Experimental Inflammation

An Effective Method for Acute Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Experimental Inflammation

Neural reflexes regulate inflammation and electrical activation of the vagus nerve reduces inflammation in models of inflammatory disease. These discoveries have generated an increasing interest in targeted neurostimulation as treatment for chronic inflammatory diseases. Data from the first clinical...
