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 near the ear (vagus nerve) can affect heart rate or other body functions in healthy adults aged 40–70. If you qualify, you'd help researchers learn how this might reduce symptoms like dizziness or rapid heart rate.
This study tests if a mild electrical pulse on the ear (vagus nerve stimulation) can improve thinking and memory in healthy young people. It also looks at whether men and women respond differently.
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 trial tests how mild electrical stimulation of a nerve in your ear affects your heart rate and other body functions. It is for healthy young adults who do not smoke or take medications that affect the heart.
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 non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in your ear to see how it affects your body's nervous system. Researchers will compare different treatment durations in healthy volunteers to understand the best approach.
