Vagus nerve stimulation to help rheumatoid arthritis
Pulsetto uses non-invasive cervical VNS to modulate autonomic balance and inflammatory pathways, supporting symptom management in RA.
Chronic inflammation affects daily life
RA symptoms like joint pain and stiffness disrupt daily activities. Restoring autonomic balance helps you move with less discomfort and more confidence.
Common RA symptoms include:
How vagus nerve basics connect to RA
Vagus nerve as a regulator
The vagus nerve modulates autonomic balance, helping shift the body from a stressed state to rest and repair.
Inflammatory signaling targeted
VNS interacts with immune pathways to influence systemic inflammatory signals relevant to RA.
Trainable reflex tone
Brief, consistent stimulation strengthens the body's rest response, supporting daily activity with less pain.
Non-invasive approach
Transcutaneous cervical stimulation delivers pulses through the skin, avoiding surgery or implants.
Preliminary clinical signals in RA with Pulsetto
Pulsetto pilot in RA cohort, 2023 — 4-week protocol
RA participants reported a 40% reduction in pain scores after 4 weeks of daily sessions.
Morning stiffness improved by 35% after 4 weeks of use, with easier joint movement.
Daily 4-minute sessions provide practical, repeatable engagement without disruption to routine.
Pulsetto targets inflammation and autonomic
A few minutes before bed, Pulsetto recalibrates the nervous system to reduce systemic stress and support healthy inflammatory
Lowers systemic stress quickly
A 4-minute session reduces autonomic arousal, easing daily discomfort.
Shifts toward rest mode
Stimulation directs the nervous system toward parasympathetic activity, supporting joint-friendly function.
Relieves heart-related
Improved autonomic balance can ease palpitations or breathlessness linked to RA stress.
Calms intrusive thinking
Calmer nervous system supports better mood and focus during RA flares.
8-week RA symptom trajectory
Users notice calmer joints and better daily function with consistent use.
First shift
Most users feel calmer physiology and less perceived stress after the initial session.
Early improvements
Joint movement becomes smoother and mornings feel less stiff as autonomic tone stabilizes.
Noticeable change
Pain scores drop and daily activities feel more doable with consistent use.
Sustained balance
Benefits persist with ongoing use; not all users respond at the same pace, and some improvements continue
