Vagus Nerve Stimulation and Reaction Time in Healthy Adults
This study tests whether stimulating the vagus nerve (a major nerve in your body) can help improve how quickly you react to things. Researchers will use a safe, non-invasive method to stimulate this nerve and measure any changes in your reaction time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have never received vagus nerve stimulation before
- You do not have a history of alcohol or drug abuse
- You do not have metal implants or devices in your skull, brain, or heart
- If you are pregnant, you are not in your third trimester

This study tests whether gentle stimulation of the vagus nerve, either by hand or with a small device on the ear, can improve the body's automatic functions like heart rate and digestion. It is for healthy adults aged 40 to 70.
This study tests a non-invasive device that stimulates the vagus nerve (a nerve in your neck) to see if it changes pain and brain activity. It's for healthy adults to understand how the method works before testing in patients with pain.
This study tests whether stimulating the vagus nerve (a major nerve in your body) with a small electrical device affects how your stomach moves and processes food. Researchers want to understand this effect in healthy people to potentially help those with digestive problems in the future.
This early-stage study tests if putting a mild electrical pulse on the vagus nerve (a nerve in the neck) can help the brain heal after a first-time stroke. It looks for changes in brain activity and certain DNA markers to understand how the treatment works.
This study tests a gentle ear stimulation device that may affect heart rate and blood pressure. It aims to see if this stimulation has beneficial effects for healthy people.
This study uses a painless body scan method (electrical impedance imaging) and a targeted vagus nerve stimulation to see if it helps people with conditions that might respond to this kind of nerve treatment. If you may benefit from vagus nerve stimulation, this trial may help doctors learn whether the approach is effective and safe for you.
