Why Choose our tVNS® Devices for Research?

Our tVNS® device is the only non-invasive vagus nerve stimulator that is approved as a Class IIa medical device under the European Medical Device Regulation (EU-MDR). tVNS® sets itself apart with its non-invasive, clinically validated approach, offering a safer and more comfortable alternative to invasive methods. Uniquely targeting the cymba concha for 100% innervation of the auricular branch of the vagus nerve (ABVN) with our patented electrode, tVNS® ensures maximum efficacy compared to other devices that only achieve partial innervation.

tVNS® for Research: An Overview

Welcome to the frontier of vagus nerve stimulation research. Our tVNS® R device is designed for flexibility and precision, offering full wireless programmability for comprehensive clinical studies.

With the tVNS® Research and tVNS® Patient apps, adjustment of stimulation parameters, data collection and patient feedback are seamlessly integrated, enhancing the scope and accuracy of your research.

We are committed to facilitating your clinical trials and provide support for studies, including a comprehensive CB safety report for ethics approvals and access to a global network of experts.

Explore the potential of tVNS® R to forge new paths in neurological research and patient care.

tVNS® R for Research

Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation Device for Research

​

  • Full Wireless Parameter Programmability

  • Patient App for Data Collection

  • Support for Clinical Trials

  • Triggered tVNS®

  • Legacy and Hook Electrode

  • Sham Stimulation

Triggered tVNS®

We offer a separate PC-based tVNS® manager software. This software enables reaction to outside trigger signals (e.g. ECG R-wave trigger generated by an external ECG system, transferred to a PC).
Thus, closed loop tVNS® or triggered tVNS® can be realized in a scientific setup.

Legacy and Hook Electrode

Sham and fMRI Electrode Options

The well known sham stimulation at the ear lobe is still possible. Upon request, we support studies by providing other more sophisticated sham and fMRI-compatible electrodes.

Titanium-Iridium Electrode

Our tVNS® device features titanium-iridium electrodes, most often used in implants and known for their biocompatibility, offering optimal stimulation with minimal irritation. This superior choice sets us apart from stainless steel alternatives, ensuring a more comfortable and effective treatment experience.

Support for Clinical Trials

We offer an individual adaptation of all parts for certain studies, e.g by changing the questionnaire in order to allow better feedback from the patient, or through the implementation of special stimulation parameters or technical ideas.

The tVNS® R device is defined as a device for investigational use. We can provide a CB report that proves the safety according to all medical device standards, in order to assist you with ethics approvals. So far, it has been accepted by all ethics committees.

In addition, we offer an international expert network and can direct any questions to experienced people around the world.

Made in Germany

Trust in the quality and reliability of a device that’s proudly designed and manufactured in Germany. Our commitment to excellence guarantees that every tVNS® device meets the highest standards of performance, durability, and safety, making it the ideal choice for institutions demanding the best in research equipment.
