Vagus Nerve Neuromodulation
Drug-free, non-invasive neuromodulation targeting the vagus nerve — an effective treatment option for migraine and associated symptoms.
What is Vagus Nerve Neuromodulation?
Vagus nerve neuromodulation is a non-invasive therapy that delivers precise, gentle stimulation to the vagus nerve. Addressing this critical element of the migraine nervous system helps with migraine as well as symptoms including anxiety, sleep, and nausea.
This approach targets the central nervous system directly, helping to calm the upregulated state that drives atypical and chronic migraine presentations.
As part of our multidisciplinary toolkit, we recommend vagus nerve neuromodulation for patients seeking drug-free options, those who cannot tolerate medications, or those looking to augment their overall treatment regimen.
