Impact of Vagal Nerve Stimulation on Stress and HRV

Research shows that vagal nerve stimulation can significantly influence heart rate variability (HRV) and stress levels. In one study, participants who received active stimulation exhibited a 31% increase in the RMSSD component of HRV, indicating a shift towards parasympathetic dominance, which is associated with relaxation and recovery. In contrast, there was no change in HRV observed in the placebo group, highlighting the distinct effects of the stimulation. Such findings suggest the potential of vagal nerve activation in managing severe stress conditions like PTSD and panic disorders.
