Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Reaction Time
Enhancing Reaction Time Through Non-Invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation
Youngstown State University
30 participants
Apr 6, 2026
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Non-Invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation will be provided to the participants using a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) unit, a routine physical therapy intervention by the faculty researcher who is a licensed physical therapist. The electrodes will be clipped to ear over the vagus nerve distribution area. The parameters will be 30 Hz, 250 us, 5 minutes, at tolerance (no pain). Reaction time will test collected pre and post the stimulation using online reaction time testing platform.
