Description
Fatemeh Hesampour, Diane Tshikudi, Charles Bernstein, and Jean-Eric Ghia test ear nerve stimulation against gut inflammation, in work from 2024. Gut disease drugs often fail to hold remission and bring side effects. Vagus nerve signals calm inflammation, but implant surgery limits who can use that route.
Skin level ear stimulation offers a surgery free path to the same nerve. Mice with two colitis forms got daily brief stimulation before and during illness. Scores for disease activity and tissue harm improved in one colitis form clearly. Colon inflammation marks fell and calm marks rose under stimulation in that form. Blood and spleen marks shifted in a calm direction as well.
