Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation Demonstrated to be Safe and Well Tolerated

Auricular vagus nerve stimulation has been demonstrated to be safe and well tolerated in thousands of independent human trials.

 

Safe and Well Tolerated in Thousands

In over 18,000 sessions of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in healthy, neurologically ill, and psychologically ill patients, no serious side effects were reported (source). 

In over 6,000 participants who used auricular vagus nerve stimulation for up to 60 minutes at a time, there was no additional risk of experiencing a side effect between those who received real stimulation vs. fake stimulation (source). 

In over 1,300 participants, a minimum of 10 minutes of auricular vagus nerve stimulation showed the most common side effects were mild skin discomfort or an uncomfortable “tingliness” (18%) and headache (3.6%) (source). 

In over 150 participants, there was no additional risk in experiencing a side effect between those who used the real VeRelief device and those who used a placebo (fake) VeRelief device (source).

VeRelief Technology is Safe and Effective

VeRelief’s underlying auricular vagus nerve stimulation technology was demonstrated to be safe and effective in over 150 patients across 3 IRB-approved and placebo-controlled clinical studies and one IRB-approved case study.

 

STUDY ONE

Dr. Nicholas Hool, Dr. William J. Tyler, Dr. Sarah Wyckoff, and Dr. Taylor Hearn conducted a study aimed at developing a Targeted Neuroplasticity Training (TNT) method to enhance foreign language learning. They focused on optimizing noninvasive vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) techniques that are comfortable and suitable for everyday use in various training environments.

The researchers explored transdermal auricular vagal nerve stimulation (taVNS), which targets nerve fibers in the external ear, as a more comfortable alternative to other methods. They designed biocompatible, hydrogel earbud electrodes for unilateral or bilateral use, and evaluated their safety and efficacy across different frequencies and intensities.

The team also examined the impact of taVNS on autonomic physiology, attention, sensory gating, and plasticity using various measurements, including heart rate, heart rate variability, skin conductance, skin temperature, respiration rate, EEG, and pupillometry.

The study found that the dry, hydrogel earbud electrode design is a safe and effective method for taVNS.

FAQs

VeRelief is only intended for healthy individuals who have difficulty falling asleep, performing daily tasks, or calming themselves down due to stress.

VeRelief is not meant to be used to treat gut related issues, chronic illnesses, or any mental health medical condition.

Once you dampen the fight or flight signal, most people are able to maintain that sense of calm and focus for hours at a time without any additional aids.

Results will vary and will depend on the immediate situation you are in.

We recommend using VeRelief at least once per day every night before bed to improve sleep quality and mental and physical recovery.

You can also take VeRelief with you and use it as needed for a quick hit of calm throughout your day.

For those who don’t fit the exclusion criteria, VeRelief can be used safely for hours a day.

The VeRelief has a mild tingling, vibrating or buzzing sensation when applied.

Side effects are extremely rare for healthy individuals, but are more prevalent in people with underlying chronic illnesses.

If you are living with a chronically imbalanced nervous system, there is a higher likelihood you will experience side effects such as:

  • Skin irritation or discomfort during treatment
  • Headache
  • Dizziness
  • Skin itching or irritation
  • Fatigue
  • Blurred vision

While side effects are rare, they are not harmful but can still cause discomfort. If you experience any side effects stop using VeRelief. If they persist for more than a few weeks, seek medical attention.

There are many vagus nerve stimulators that use the same technology as VeRelief that have been cleared by the FDA. The highest output cleared by the FDA is currently 55mA. VeRelief uses a gentler, yet still effective, output of up to 16mA.

Hoolest has conducted 3 IRB-approved and placebo controlled studies across hundreds of people, compliant with FDA regulations, and demonstrated that VeRelief is safe for healthy patients with experiencing moderate to severe state-anxiety and who have trouble falling asleep.

Most relaxation products only come with a 30-day money back guarantee.

You’ll be happy to know that if you purchase a VeRelief device and you don’t experience better sleep or improved relaxation within your first 60 days, you can send the device back for a full refund. Just cover the return shipping costs.

VeRelief is only intended for healthy individuals who have difficulty falling asleep, performing daily tasks, or calming themselves down due to stress.

VeRelief is not meant to be used to treat gut related issues, chronic illnesses, or any mental health medical condition.

VeRelief works by stimulating the auricular and vagus nerves on the side of the neck just below the ear.

This disrupts the “fight or flight” signal the brain sends to the body and prevents it from taking full effect, resulting in a nearly immediate sense of calm and relaxation.

It works faster than meditation and is safer than medications.

The Vagus Nerve

The vagus nerve is a fascinating part of our anatomy. It’s one of several cranial nerves that create a vital connection between the brain and the body (Guyenet, 2018). Its main job is pretty important; it helps our bodies recover from the stress of a “fight or flight” response and allows us to enter a more relaxed “rest and digest” state (Porges, 2009). Basically, the vagus nerve is our built-in stress relief system.

When it comes to controlling bodily functions like heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, and other automatic processes, the vagus nerve plays a key role (Berthoud & Neuhuber, 2000). Activating the vagus nerve actually slows these functions down, helping our bodies unwind and chill out.

Now, here’s a cool fact: a branch of the vagus nerve, known as the Auricular Branch of the Vagus Nerve, can be accessed just under the ear on the side of the neck (Peuker & Filler, 2002). Studies have shown that stimulating this particular branch can reduce an elevated heart rate and alleviate anxiety symptoms (Bauer et al., 2010). How amazing is that

A Simple Vagus Nerve Stimulator

VeRelief is a game-changer when it comes to managing stress and anxiety. By applying electrical energy to the Auricular Branch of the Vagus Nerve (ABVN) on the side of your neck, it can help you find calm during those overwhelming moments (Bauer et al., 2010).

What’s the science behind it? The ABVN connects to areas in the brainstem, like the Locus Coeruleus and Reticular Activating System (Aston-Jones & Cohen, 2005). These regions are involved in producing Serotonin and Norepinephrine, as well as regulating our sleep/wake cycles (Monti & Monti, 2007). That’s why stimulating the ABVN can be so effective in helping you fall asleep faster, ease racing thoughts, reduce stress and anxiety, and even improve your mood (Kraus et al., 2007).

VeRelief stands out from other vagus nerve devices. It’s the first of its kind, being wireless, equipped with dry electrodes, and portable. And get this – it’s smaller than a car key fob! So, what makes VeRelief special? It’s all about the convenience and ease of use that sets it apart.Why not give VeRelief a try and experience the benefits of a more active vagus nerve for yourself?

OUR CUSTOMERS AND CLINICIANS LOVE VERELIEF

Typically I can pinpoint where my anxiety is coming from and have learned how to manage it. Where VeRelief really helps me is when I’m feeling randomly anxious but don’t know where it is coming from. It settles down my thoughts and helps me move through the anxiety so I can move on with my day.

James A.

Telling y’all this is live changing. For anyone struggling with any forms of anxiety, intrusive thoughts, the inability to relax, etc., let me put you on something. I bought the verelief mini and I don’t see a world where this is not needed.

Madi M

Anxiety is a physical thing, we carry stress physically in our necks. I put Hoolest’s device on the nerve and it shakes the tension loose and relaxes it. Or if I have racing thoughts and use it before bed, it helps slow things down and clears them out. The device is a tool you can reach for that doesn’t have the chemical consequences or ups and downs.
