FAQ:
What is a vagus nerve stimulator?
A vagus nerve stimulator is a device designed to stimulate the vagus nerve using mild electrical signals. The vagus nerve plays a key role in regulating the nervous system, influencing functions such as heart rate, digestion, mood, stress response, and inflammation.
How does a vagus nerve stimulator work?
A vagus nerve stimulator works by sending controlled electrical impulses to the vagus nerve, usually through the neck or ear. These signals help activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for relaxation, recovery, and balance within the body.
What are vagus nerve stimulators used for?
Vagus nerve stimulators are commonly used to support:
Stress and anxiety reduction
Improved mood and emotional regulation
Better sleep quality
Nervous system balance
Focus and mental clarity
Support for relaxation and recovery
Some medical versions are prescribed for conditions like epilepsy or depression, while non-invasive devices are used for wellness purposes.
Is vagus nerve stimulation safe?
Non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation is generally considered safe when used as directed. The stimulation is mild and adjustable. However, people with pacemakers, implanted medical devices, or certain medical conditions should consult a healthcare professional before use.
What is the difference between invasive and non-invasive vagus nerve stimulators?
Invasive vagus nerve stimulators require surgical implantation and are used for medical conditions such as epilepsy.
Non-invasive vagus nerve stimulators are external devices that stimulate the nerve through the skin, usually on the neck or ear, and are commonly used for wellness and stress management.
How long does it take to feel results?
Some users report feeling effects such as relaxation or calmness after the first session, while others may need consistent use over several days or weeks. Results depend on frequency of use, stimulation intensity, and individual nervous system sensitivity.
How often should a vagus nerve stimulator be used?
Usage recommendations vary, but most non-invasive vagus nerve stimulators are used once or twice daily in short sessions. Regular and consistent use is often more effective than occasional sessions.
Can a vagus nerve stimulator help with anxiety or stress?
Yes, vagus nerve stimulation is widely associated with reduced stress and anxiety levels. Activating the parasympathetic nervous system helps counteract the “fight or flight” response and promotes a calmer state.
Does vagus nerve stimulation improve sleep?
Many users report improved sleep quality, especially when using a vagus nerve stimulator in the evening. Relaxation of the nervous system can help the body transition more easily into rest and recovery.
Is a vagus nerve stimulator painful?
No, vagus nerve stimulation should not be painful. Users typically feel a mild tingling, pulsing, or warming sensation. If discomfort occurs, the intensity can usually be adjusted.
Who should not use a vagus nerve stimulator?
Vagus nerve stimulators may not be suitable for:
People with pacemakers or implanted electrical devices
Individuals with severe heart conditions
Pregnant individuals (unless approved by a healthcare provider)
Always consult a medical professional if unsure.
Can vagus nerve stimulation replace medical treatment?
No. A vagus nerve stimulator should not replace prescribed medical treatments. It is generally used as a complementary wellness or support tool, not as a standalone medical therapy.
Where is the vagus nerve stimulated?
Most non-invasive devices stimulate the vagus nerve through:
The side of the neck
The ear (auricular vagus nerve branches)
Correct placement is essential for effective stimulation.
Absolutely. The Pulsetto device itself is fully certified by the FCC and CE, which means it complies with strict laws and is approved for use for general health. It uses the lowest bluetooth energy, called “ultra low radiofrequency energy” (ULRE), which is safe for use on the body.
It’s also clinically tested and designed for daily use. Since it’s non-invasive and drug-free, there’s no risk of dependency or side effects. You can use it once a day or several times depending on your needs, before bed, during a stressful moment, or to reset between work tasks. It’s safe, simple, and built for consistency, so the more you use it, the better your nervous system functions over time.
Above all, Pulsetto devices have performed more than 1.5 million simulations already with zero side effects.
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.
Who is Pulsetto designed for?
Pulsetto is for anyone who feels overwhelmed, stressed, tired, anxious, or sleep-deprived, basically, most people today. It’s especially helpful for busy professionals, parents, high-performers, and anyone seeking a non-medicated, science-backed way to feel better.
