Effects of transcutaneous cervical vagus nerve stimulation on autonomic function in posttraumatic stress disorder and opioid use disorder.

A study published in the journal Stress examined the effects of transcutaneous cervical vagus nerve stimulation (tcVNS) on autonomic nervous system function in individuals diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder and opioid use disorder. Researchers assessed how this non-invasive neuromodulation technique influences physiological markers linked to autonomic regulation in these co-occurring conditions. The findings may be relevant to physical therapists working with chronic pain or trauma populations who are exploring adjunct neuromodulation strategies.
