Have you ever wanted a simple way to feel calmer, sleep better, and gain control over stress? Non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation devices are making this possible without surgery or drugs. In this article, we break down how they work, why medical certification matters, and what sets Pulsetto apart as a CE-certified product.
What Is Vagus Nerve Stimulation?
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a proven method for helping the body and brain handle stress, sleep issues, digestion, and mood. The vagus nerve is like a communication superhighway between your brain and your internal organs. By applying gentle pulses or vibrations, VNS sends signals that help you relax, lower your heart rate and blood pressure, and boost your focus.
Traditional VNS devices are implanted by surgeons for epilepsy or depression. But now, non-invasive options (that don’t require surgery) are available for home use. These devices rest on the skin, and you control them yourself.
How Non-Invasive VNS Devices Work
Non-invasive VNS devices deliver mild electrical signals or vibrations through the skin, usually at the neck or ear. Here’s how it works step by step:
-
You place the device on your neck or ear and switch it on.
-
The device gently stimulates the vagus nerve through the skin.
-
This stimulation triggers the nerve to release neurotransmitters that help calm the body.
Many people describe the feeling as a light buzz or tingling sensation, safe, comfortable, and easy to tolerate.
While most devices are worn on the neck or ear, other options exist. For example, wearable technologies like Apollo or Sensate apply vibrations to different areas of the body to influence the vagus nerve indirectly.
Why it works:
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) involves sending electrical impulses to the vagus nerve—the main nerve of the parasympathetic nervous system. This nerve plays a critical role in controlling digestion, heart rate, stress response, and other vital functions. When stimulated, the vagus nerve communicates with the brain to restore balance, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being.
86% of Pulsetto users felt calmer and less stressed after use.
Why Certification Is So Important
Not all VNS devices are the same, and that’s where certifications come in.
CE Certification: Safety and Trust
CE certification shows that a device meets the tough European Union standards for health, safety, and environmental protection. Manufacturers must prove their electronics are reliable, don’t interfere with other devices, and are safe for everyday use. Pulsetto’s CE certification means you can trust its quality and safety.
Benefits of CE-certified VNS devices:
-
Verified safety and reliability
-
Meets strict EU standards
-
Enables market access across Europe
-
Builds customer trust and confidence
-
Gives a competitive edge over uncertified brands
The certification process includes radio performance testing, electromagnetic compatibility checks, and safety evaluations like fire resistance and mechanical durability.
FDA Clearance vs General Wellness
In the US, only a few non-invasive VNS devices have FDA clearance for treating conditions like migraines and cluster headaches. Many popular wellness devices are not FDA-cleared and should only be used for general stress relief, not for treating diseases.
Why Pulsetto Is Different
Pulsetto stands out as a CE-certified, non-invasive VNS device built for safety and effective stimulation, backed by thousands of positive reviews and endorsements from experts.
