Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) devices have been found to be effective for certain medical conditions. They are primarily used for treatment-resistant epilepsy and depression.
Research suggests that VNS can help reduce the frequency and severity of seizures in some epilepsy patients and improve mood in some individuals with depression
The interaction between the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous system is thought to be a key element in the fatigue of long covid, and hence vagus nerve stimulation, whether through box breathing, ro VNS devices may have a benefit
