Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS)
Modern, Evidence-based approach in neurological rehabilitation
Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS) is a non-invasive therapeutic method, that utilizes mild electrical stimulation applied to the outer ear to activate branches of the vagus nerve.
This stimulation is transmitted to the brain and influences neural networks involved in learning, recovery, and autonomic function.
The area of the ear targeted — primarily the cymba concha and inner tragus — is the only external body region innervated by branches of the vagus nerve.
This makes the ear a unique and safe target for non-invasive stimulation.
NON INVASIVE
No Surgery Required
PAINLESS
Mild tingling sensation only

How Does it Work?
The therapeutic action of tVNS is grounded in the principle of neuroplasticity — the brain's capacity to reorganize its neural connections in response to learning, experience, and rehabilitation. Following neurological injury, this capacity is critical for functional recovery.
The tVNS does not replace rehabilitation, but complements it. When combined with targeted physiotherapy, occupational therapy, or speech therapy, stimulation may help create favorable neurobiological conditions for recovery.
How tVNS Supports Recovery?
tVNS is integrated into each patient's individualized rehabilitation program and functions complementarily with traditional therapeutic methods Each therapeutic goal is determined by the clinical assessment of the multidisciplinary team.
SUPPORTS NEUROPLASTICITY
Activates neural pathways associated with learning and recovery.
ENHANCES MOTOR RELEARNING
May facilitate motor skill recovery, particularly in upper limbs.
PATIENT ENGAGEMENT
May improve alertness and engagement during rehabilitation sessions.
MOOD & SLEEP
May positively influence mood and sleep quality through autonomic regulation.
HOLISTIC INTEGRATION
Works alongside physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy.
Which Patients May Benefit?
tVNS is considered as a complementary therapeutic option for various neurological conditions. Patient suitability is clinically assessed by the medical team prior to initiating therapy.
STROKE
Motor and cognitive recovery following ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke.
TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY
Supporting recovery in patients with mild to severe traumatic brain injury.
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
Management of fatigue, cognitive symptoms, and motor difficulties.
PARKINSON DISEASE
Potential support for motor symptoms and non-motor manifestations.
PERIPHERAL NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS
Symptomatic relief and functional improvement in selected cases.
OTHER NEUROLOGICAL DISEASES
Following clinical evaluation and medical judgment.
