neuromodulationvagal pathwayConstipation and opioid‐induced constipation (OIC) are common with limited treatment options. We investigated whether a noninvasive method of auricular vagal nerve stimulation (aVNS) could be used for treating OIC and explored its potential mechanisms and neural pathways in a...
Vagal nerve stimulationPostural orthostatic tachycardia syndromeEpilepsyPOTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) is a condition caused by cerebral hypoperfusion which results in general weakness, dizziness, lightheadedness, fatigue upon standing and visual blurring or fogging of the visual fields. ...
We have also shown that the gastric response to stimulation of the substantia nigra compacta is impaired in an experimental model of parkinsonism (PMID28912019). In the present study we used a rodent model of parkinsonism with the aim to investigate: 1) the changes in the membrane properties ...
constipationTo evaluate the existence of a circadian rhythm in cardiac responses to vagal stimulation tests, 10 children without neurologic or cardiopulmonary disease, were studied using a standardized procedure. A trigeminal airstream stimulation test (TAS) and an ocular compression test (OCT) were ...
