The array of end organ innervations of the vagus nerve, coupled with increased basic science evidence, has led to vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) being explored as a management option in several clinical disorders, such as heart failure, migraine, and inflammatory bowel disease. Invasive (surgically implanted) and non-invasive (transcutaneous) techniques of VNS exist…
