[Abstract] Non electrical and non pharmacological ways of vagus nerve stimulation: Overview, pathways and clinical implications

Vagal nerve stimulation is gaining recognition as an important therapeutic approach especially for non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), Depression, Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Type 2 Diabetes, Alzheimer, and certain types of cancer. In turn, decreased vagal tone its implicated in the prognosis of a wide range of diseases. Afferent vagal stimulation seems to have the key to reset certain pathophysiological states of the body leading to health improvement by reshaping neural networks.
