Vagus Nerve to the Rescue
The Vagus Nerve is the 10th cranial nerve and represents 80% of your parasympathetic “brakes” within our bodies. It has been theorized in scientific literature the Vagus nerve may be beneficial in helping COVID-19 respiratory distress.
Vagal Stimulation Now Authorized by Health Canada to Treat COVID-19
Recognizing this, Health Canada has NOW approved Dolphin Vagal Nerve Stimulator (VNS) for emergency use in the acute treatment of adult patients with known or suspected COVID-19. Dolphin Vagal Stim is intended for patients experiencing asthma-related dyspnea or reduced airflow (called Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome – ARDS) relating to COVID-19. Dolphin Vagal Nerve Stimulator (VNS) is ideal for patients where approved drug therapies are not tolerated or provide insufficient respiratory symptomatic relief, and applying non-invasive Dolphin VNS to the auricular branch of the vagus nerve (ABVN) may help COVID related respiratory distress. Dolphin VNS may be applied to COVID-10 ARDS at home or any clinical setting with minimal training
