Autonomic dysfunction and chronic inflammation contribute to the pathogenesis and
progression of several cardiovascular diseases (CVD), such as heart failure with preserved …

Increased sympathetic and reduced parasympathetic nerve activity is associated with
disease progression and poor outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure. The …

Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) provides a novel therapeutic strategy for injured hearts by
activating cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathways. However, little information is available on …

Objective. To determine the optimal frequency and site of stimulation for transcutaneous
vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) to induce acute changes in the autonomic profile (heart rate …

Neuromodulation comes into focus as a non-pharmacological therapy with the vagus nerve
as modulation target. The auricular vagus nerve stimulation (aVNS) has emerged to treat …

Interoceptive dysfunctions are increasingly implicated in a number of physical and mental
health conditions. Accordingly, there is a pertinent need for therapeutic interventions which …

Paired associative stimulation (PAS) is a combination of transcranial magnetic stimulation
(TMS) and peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS). PAS can induce long‐term potentiation (LTP) …

Introduction Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder,
and the primary causes are chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) and …

Background Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) improves diseases such as refractory epilepsy
and treatment-resistant depression, likely by rebalancing the autonomic nervous system …

Loss of cardiac physiological function following myocardial infarction (MI) is accompanied by
neural adaptations in the baroreflex that are compensatory in the short term, but then …
