Functional dyspepsia, gastric ulcers, gastric cancer, and gastroparesis are associated with painful sensations in the stomach1,2,3. Patients with gastric pain have impaired food intake, leading to weight loss and low quality of life4,5. Traditionally, it has been suggested that the occurrence of...
and the right vagal nerve runs down your right side. This nerve extends all the way from your brain to the large intestines: down your neck, through your chest, around your heart, around your lungs, and through your abdomen and intestines...
vagus nerve n. Either of the tenth and longest of the cranial nerves, passing through the neck and thorax into the abdomen and supplying sensation to part of the ear, the tongue, the larynx, and the pharynx, motor impulses to the vocal cords, and motor and secretory impulses to the abdom...
We performed a systematic review to determine the efficacy of invasive and non-invasive VNS in gastrointestinal disorders, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), functional dyspepsia (FD), functional constipation, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and gastroparesis. We ...

Findings In this randomized clinical trial of 264 patients with early-stage distal gastric cancer, vagus nerve preservation resulted in significantly less postoperative gastroparesis compared to vagus nerve resection (0.8% vs 7.6%), lower incidence of gallstone formation (0% vs 6.8%), and ...
Its profound role is illustrated by abnormalities in it that can lead to far-reaching consequences including gastroesophageal reflux disease, heart failure, failure of respiratory control, gastroparesis, vasovagal syncope, and chronic pain. The interconnectedness of the vagus nerve and other nerves helps...
Damage to the vagus nerve If the vagus nerve is damaged,nausea, bloating, diarrhea and gastroparesis(in which the stomach empties too slowly) may result. What happens when the vagus nerve is overstimulated? When the vagus nerve is overstimulated,the body's blood vessels dilate, especially those...
Given the intimate control the vagus nerve has on appropriatesensorimotor functionand brain-gut regulation of the stomach, it is not surprising that vagus pathology contributes directly togastroparesispathophysiology. As previously discussed, what is unique about gastrointestinalinnervationcompared to other org...
