A new report, authored by hi-tech wellness company Pulsetto, into how vagus nerve stimulation can offer long-term natural pain relief, is giving hope to readers who suffer from chronic pain.
—
The latest report details a number of easy ways those experiencing chronic pain can stimulate the vagus nerve to relieve persistent symptoms. These include breathing exercises to improve heart rate variability, humming to stimulate the vagus nerve running through the neck area, and using electronic stimulation devices.

According to the US Pain Foundation, almost 21% of Americans suffer from chronic pain, explains Pulsetto. With this equating to over 50 million people, the search for a non-invasive, affordable treatment option has led to many scientists focusing their research in the field of drug-free, natural pain relief. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has long been known to help induce a state of calm, relaxing the body from its tense, “fight or flight” state. However, this latest report examined whether it could have a substantive, long-term impact for those dealing with debilitating chronic pain conditions.
Vagus nerve stimulators, like the wearable, hands-free model designed by Pulsetto, stimulate the body’s parasympathetic nervous system using low-level electric pulses. Clinical trials have shown that these kinds of electric pulses can also help to disrupt the intensity and frequency of the pain signals being sent to the brain, providing some respite for the user.
“When activated, the vagus nerve releases a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine which plays a role in reducing inflammation — a key factor in many pain conditions,” explains a Pulsetto spokesperson. “Additionally, VNS affects the brain's pain processing centers, potentially altering the way pain is perceived. So, by targeting the body's own nervous system, VNS offers a natural way to mediate the pain response and promote a sense of well-being.”
For optimal results, observes the report, both the frequency and duration of VNS are important. Pulsetto clients are able to select pain relief programming options from their vagus nerve stimulator app, controlling the frequency of the device. Clinical studies often use between 20 - 30Hz, however, Pulsetto’s report recommends starting lower and gradually increasing as needed and in consultation with a healthcare provider.
As with any health-focused device, those considering starting treatments are advised to contact a medical professional prior to commencing VNS sessions.
