From Epilepsy to Depression: The Expanding Applications of Vagus Nerve Stimulation
From Epilepsy to Depression: The Expanding Applications of Vagus Nerve Stimulation
The vagus nerve—often called the body’s superhighway of communication—plays a critical role in regulating various body functions, from heart rate to mood stabilization. Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS), a form of neuromodulation, has revolutionized treatments for epilepsy, and its application is now expanding to other challenging conditions like depression and even chronic pain.

Discover More About Vagus Nerve Stimulation
Vagus Nerve Stimulation involves the implantation of a small device that sends mild electrical pulses to the vagus nerve. This nerve runs from the brain through the neck and into the chest and abdomen, influencing functions such as digestion, heart rate, and mood. Initially approved for epilepsy, VNS has shown impressive results in reducing seizures, particularly in drug-resistant cases. But over the years, its benefits have extended into other medical fields, notably in treating treatment-resistant depression (TRD).
For those with TRD, VNS offers new hope. Depression, especially when unresponsive to standard treatments, poses a significant challenge. Research indicates that up to 67% of patients see improvements after five years of VNS therapy. In fact, 33% achieve remission, meaning their symptoms completely disappear. This long-term approach provides gradual improvement, distinguishing it from other therapies like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) or electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).
Chronic Pain and Other Conditions
While more research is required, VNS has shown potential in alleviating chronic pain and even supporting recovery from stroke. Clinical trials are exploring its applications in Alzheimer's disease, heart failure, and inflammatory bowel conditions. Though not all insurance providers cover VNS for depression, more are beginning to recognize its value.
Transcutaneous VNS: A Non-Invasive Alternative
Recognizing the potential for broader use, researchers have developed transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS). This non-invasive technique uses ear electrodes to stimulate the vagus nerve, providing an alternative for patients who may not qualify for the surgical option. Early trials have shown promising results for conditions like anxiety and depression, with significant symptom reductions.

How fast will I feel results?
Most users feel noticeably calmer within just 4 minutes. That’s because Pulsetto uses clinically proven vagus nerve stimulation to rapidly shift your nervous system out of fight-or-flight mode and into rest-and-digest. Unlike supplements or meditation apps, there’s no need to wait weeks for subtle changes, relief starts almost immediately. Over time, regular use also strengthens your vagal tone, making you more resilient to stress and better able to stay calm throughout the day.
What does it feel like?
It feels pleasant! Most users describe it as a slight tingling sensation, or a tickle. It’s designed to relax you, so it’s completely pain-free — otherwise it wouldn’t be very calming, would it!
What exactly is the vagus nerve, and why does it matter?
The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve in your body, and it plays a crucial role in regulating your mood, stress, digestion, heart rate, and sleep. It’s like your body’s internal switchboard for calm and recovery. Pulsetto gently stimulates this nerve to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, helping you slow down, relax, and restore balance. It’s the same nerve doctors stimulate in clinical settings to treat mood and anxiety disorders, but Pulsetto brings this powerful science home.
Can Pulsetto help me sleep better?
Yes, Pulsetto helps you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up more refreshed. By stimulating your vagus nerve, it activates your parasympathetic nervous system (the one responsible for rest and recovery), helping your body power down naturally. It’s a non-invasive, drug-free solution that works with your body’s own biology. Whether you struggle with racing thoughts, trouble falling asleep, or restless nights, Pulsetto helps create the calm, balanced state your body needs to enter deep, restorative sleep.
What’s included in the Pulsetto App? Is it free?
Yes, the app is 100% free and comes included with the Pulsetto device. It offers 5 unlimited stimulation programs for sleep improvement, nervousness, stress reduction, burnout, and pain management.
The app works with both iOS and Android. It also has a specialized Sound Library filled with sounds specifically designed for Pulsetto, which improve the overall experience.
Do I need to be tech-savvy to use it?
Not at all. Pulsetto is designed to be incredibly easy to use. Just place it around your neck, open the free app, and start your session. The app walks you through everything, from choosing the type of session to adjusting intensity levels. Even if you're not into tech, you’ll find it intuitive and seamless. It’s as easy as putting on a pair of headphones and pressing play, except instead of sound, you're stimulating calm.
Can Pulsetto really help with stress and anxiety?
Yes, and that’s where Pulsetto truly shines. Chronic stress and anxiety are often caused by an overactive sympathetic nervous system (the fight-or-flight response). Pulsetto works by activating the opposite system, the parasympathetic, which signals to your body that it’s safe, helping you relax almost instantly. Whether you're managing daily overwhelm or deeper emotional stress, Pulsetto gives you a powerful tool to self-regulate in a natural, consistent way. It’s peace of mind at the push of a button.
How is Pulsetto different from other wellness tools like meditation apps or supplements?
Meditation apps and supplements can help, but they often take time, focus, and commitment. Pulsetto works physically, not just mentally. By directly stimulating the vagus nerve, it taps into your nervous system’s core functions, creating a fast and reliable physiological shift. You don’t need to “get in the zone” or wait weeks for effects. It’s consistent, clinically supported, and easy to use daily. Pulsetto is not just a wellness tool, it’s a nervous system upgrade.
What if I don’t struggle with anxiety or sleep, can Pulsetto still benefit me?
Yes! Even if you’re not actively struggling, Pulsetto can still improve your overall health and performance. Regular vagus nerve stimulation boosts focus, sharpens mental clarity, supports digestion, reduces inflammation, and even enhances athletic recovery. Think of it like exercise for your nervous system, the more you use it, the stronger and more balanced it becomes. Pulsetto is perfect for anyone who wants to feel more grounded, energized, and resilient in their everyday life.
