Parametric Testing of Direct Physiological Effects of Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS) in Healthy Controls
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and safety of Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS) in healthy controls. Tested in healthy subjects (HS) the physiological effects of tVNS at different stimulation parameters. The electrical stimulation variables will be pulse width, frequency, and current. This will be tested in a laboratory setting and will measure tVNS effects on heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, and perceived pain. This is a feasibility and small safety study.
Hypothesis: tVNS is feasible and safe

실험적: Active tVNS Stimulation
Stimulating electrode will be placed on left tragus of subject.
Current will be held constant (200% perceptual threshold) while pulse width and frequency are varied.The intervention used to keep current constant is Digitmer High Voltage Stimulator model DS7A TENS unit.
Each stimulation period (9 randomized stimulation parameters varying in pulse width and frequency) will last 1 minute with a 3 minute break between each parameter.
Physiological data (O2 saturation, blood pressure, breathing rate, and Electrocardiogram (EKG) to measure heart rate ) will be collected continuously.

There are nine stimulation periods, each with own stimulation parameters that consist of a constant current, pulse width and frequency. Each stimulation period has 1 minute of stimulation (active or sham), followed by 3 minutes of post stimulation baseline recording Each of the stimulation period last 4 minutes with an additional 90 seconds between each Stimulation period. Current will be 200% of the subject's perceptual threshold for each stimulation parameter. The pulse width will be either 100 microseconds (µs), 200 µs, or 500µs. Frequency will be either 1 Hertz (Hz), 10 Hz, or 25 Hz. Baseline physiological data,Electrocardiogram (EKG) to measure heart rate in beats/sec will be collected before each stimulation parameter, during stimulation parameter, and post each stimulation parameter. |
