So, did I understand correctly that vagus nerve stimulation can help with symptoms of depression, epilepsy, IBS, chronic pain, some allergies, PTSD, ADHD, Long COVID and autism, among others?

Then why tf isn't that used more?

#VNS #VagusNerveStimulation

If you haven't heard about it, I own a couple of spaces to talk about some of my favorite Visual Novel developers, Favorite and Makura. I will do two brief posts about them, their history, and some of their more known VNs, in hope to make you all more aware of these excellent works. At the end of each post, I'll link the respective Discord server for anyone interested.

#Vagusnervstimulation / #VNS - ein paar Infos:
hatte heute die Möglichkeit mit der Angestellten der Herstellerfirma, die sich um mich kümmert, ein wenig zu plaudern und ein paar Dinge erfragt:
-----

Strom:

* muss langsam gesteigert werden, damit sich die Nervenfasern / beteiligte Zellen daran gewöhnen können, zu rasche Steigerung könnte auf Zellebene Probleme machen.

* therapeutisch wirksam ab etwa 1mA (natürlich individuell, wird aber als Untergrenze angesehen).

* Maximaler Strom abhängig auch von Nervendicke. Werden alle Fasern stimuliert so bringt eine weitere Steigerung der Stromstärke genau nichts. Als Obergrenze gilt in etwa 2,25mA.
-----

Nicht nur der Strom ist Ausschlaggebend für die Wirkung, sondern auch die Frequenz und Impulsweite des Signals. Und logischerweise auch die Häufigkeit und Länge der Stimulation.
Derzeit ist bei mir eingestellt:
Stimulation alle 5min für 30sec, Frequenz 20Hz und Impulsdauer 250 µs.
-----

In etwa rechnet man mit einer Besserung ca. 6 Monate nach Einsetzen des Implantates. Die Bandbreite ist natürlich groß, von Non-Responder bis vollständige Remission kann alles dabei sein.
Das wäre dann bei mir etwa Mitte November. Mal sehen. 🤔
