Using Pulsetto is simple and takes just 4 minutes to start feeling the effects. Here's how it works:
Apply a generous amount of gel to your neck or directly onto the electrodes.
Place the device on your neck.
Pair it with the Pulsetto app on your smartphone.
Choose your desired program and start the device through the app.

FAQ:
What is a vagus nerve stimulator?
A vagus nerve stimulator is a device designed to activate the vagus nerve using mild electrical impulses. The vagus nerve plays a key role in regulating the nervous system, including heart rate, digestion, mood, and stress response.
How does a vagus nerve stimulator work?
The device sends controlled electrical signals to the vagus nerve, usually through the neck or ear. These signals help stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which supports relaxation, recovery, and overall nervous system balance.
What are vagus nerve stimulators used for?
Vagus nerve stimulators are commonly used to support:
Stress and anxiety management
Nervous system regulation
Improved sleep quality
Mood balance
Focus and mental clarity
Recovery from chronic stress
Is vagus nerve stimulation safe?
Non-invasive vagus nerve stimulators are generally considered safe when used according to instructions. They use low-level electrical stimulation and do not involve surgery. However, individuals with medical conditions or implanted devices should consult a healthcare professional before use.
What is the difference between invasive and non-invasive vagus nerve stimulators?
Invasive devices require surgical implantation and are prescribed for medical conditions.
Non-invasive devices are external and stimulate the vagus nerve through the skin, typically at the neck or ear, without surgery.
How long does it take to feel results?
Some users notice relaxation or calmness immediately after a session, while others experience gradual improvements over several days or weeks of consistent use. Results vary depending on individual nervous system sensitivity and usage frequency.
How often should a vagus nerve stimulator be used?
Usage depends on the device and personal goals. Many non-invasive devices are designed for daily sessions lasting a few minutes. Following the manufacturer’s recommendations is essential for safe and effective use.
Can vagus nerve stimulation help with anxiety and stress?
Yes, stimulating the vagus nerve can help activate the body’s relaxation response, which may reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. It supports heart rate variability and promotes a calmer nervous system state.
Does a vagus nerve stimulator improve sleep?
Vagus nerve stimulation may support better sleep by calming the nervous system and reducing nighttime stress responses. Many users report easier relaxation before bedtime and improved sleep quality over time.
Are there side effects?
Side effects are usually mild and temporary, such as:
Tingling sensation at the stimulation site
Mild skin irritation
Temporary discomfort during stimulation
Serious side effects are rare with non-invasive devices when used correctly.
Who should avoid using a vagus nerve stimulator?
People with pacemakers, implanted medical devices, epilepsy (unless medically supervised), or certain heart conditions should consult a healthcare professional before using a vagus nerve stimulator.
Is vagus nerve stimulation scientifically supported?
Yes, numerous studies support the role of vagus nerve stimulation in nervous system regulation, mood balance, and stress reduction. Medical VNS has been researched for decades, and non-invasive approaches continue to be studied.
Can vagus nerve stimulators be used alongside other wellness practices?
Absolutely. Vagus nerve stimulation can complement practices such as meditation, breathing exercises, therapy, physical activity, and mindfulness routines.
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.
