Medical research is the key to curing disease & to think that #vagusnerve stimulation can reduce inflammation in patients with IBD is incredible. It's important to consider the advances we've made and how far we've come. Cohen Children's Benjamin Sahn MD 🔗: bit.ly/45QXNvM

Young people who suffer from serious #gastrointestinal illnesses such as #crohnsdisease and #ulcerativecolitis may find relief from a #noninvasive treatment that stimulates the #vagusnerve through their ear.

Thank you Bioelectronic Medicine - Journal for publishing the results of this proof-of concept trial showing non-invasive non-pharmacological transcutaneous #vns significantly reduced inflammation in more than 64 percent of pediatric patients with #IBD!

The #vagusnerve is often referred to as the body’s superhighway – it connects the brain with all major organs and controls functions like heart rate, breathing and our body’s immune response. Due to its anti-inflammatory role, #VNS could be used as a non-drug therapy for #IBD
