CONDITIONS
Explore conditions through a nervous system lens.
Browse clear, science-informed articles on stress, sleep, anxiety, migraine and headache, gut–brain function and digestion, burnout, depression and mood, chronic pain and related concerns.
Each article begins with the condition or concern itself, then explores the relevant nervous system, vagus nerve and research context in clear, accessible language.

Start with a condition or concern.
Choose the topic that feels most relevant to you.
Stress
Explore how prolonged stress can affect autonomic regulation, sleep, recovery and the body's ability to settle after demanding moments.
Sleep
Understand how nervous system activation and stress can affect winding down, sleep quality and the ability to return to sleep.
Anxiety
Explore how anxiety can overlap with autonomic arousal, vigilance, physical sensations, breathing and sleep.
Migraine & Headache
Learn about the complex neurological pathways involved in migraine and headache, and why vagus nerve stimulation is being studied in this field.
Gut–Brain & Digestion
Explore how the gut and brain communicate through neural, immune and hormonal pathways, including the vagus nerve, and how these pathways are being studied in relation to digestive symptoms.

Continue with articles on burnout, depression and mood, chronic pain, and how these topics may intersect with sleep, stress, recovery and nervous system regulation.
Burnout
Understand how prolonged demand, exhaustion, disrupted sleep and reduced recovery can overlap over time.
Depression & Mood
Explore how mood, stress systems, sleep and brain–body regulation are studied together.
Chronic Pain
Learn how pain, stress, sleep and autonomic regulation can interact and reinforce one another over time.
RESEARCH
Explore what the science says.
A growing body of research is examining vagus nerve stimulation and transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) across areas including sleep, stress, anxiety and mood, migraine and headache, gut–brain function, chronic pain, autonomic regulation, heart rate variability (HRV), safety and tolerability.
Findings are encouraging across several areas, while results vary between devices, stimulation protocols and study populations.

Explore a practical approach to vagus nerve stimulation.
Neuvago combines four 20-minute stimulation modes with 30 adjustable intensity levels in a simple handheld device designed to support better sleep, calmer responses to everyday stress, focused time and recovery.
