The AVA A Vagus Adventure private facebook page (a great resource) has just announced funding for a feasability study on VNS for ME/CFS.
"We are HUGELY excited to announce that after several attempts at obtaining funding we have now been successful at receiving £109,520 from the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy to conduct a feasibility study investigating tVNS for people with ME/CFS!!
🥳
Absolutely BRILLIANT news!

PI – Dr Nicola Clague-Baker. Research team includes Dawn Wiley, Andrea Parker, Prof Helen Dawes, Prof Sarah Tyson, Karen Leslie, Dr Michelle Bull and Natalie Hilliard. Thank you to all.
We have a survey running at the moment for anyone with ME/CFS or Long Covid who has tried, or who is currently trying, taVNS. (tVNS via the ear) This data will guide our feasibility study so is very important.

So please PLEASE do fill it out if you can
🙏
We have the chance to be part of something bigger here."
Well worth a look if you are interested in VNS for ME/CFS, fibromyalgia etc.

I came across several articles mentioning that vagus nerve stimulation can reduce immune responses, by a still poorly understood mechanism, so there is a scientific basis for it.
