Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of human auricular vagus nerve stimulation devices, and more specifically, to a human auricular vagus nerve stimulation device. Background Art

[0002] Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a form of neuromodulation. The earliest report on VNS can be traced back to the 1980s. In the past few decades, VNS has been widely used in clinical treatment fields including epilepsy, depression, stroke, and motor rehabilitation. The auricular concha area of the ear is a region rich in the distribution of the external auditory meatus vagus nerve. In recent years, it has been found that electrical stimulation of the innervated area of the superficial vagus nerve on the body surface may also produce effects similar to those of VNS. Accordingly, the non-invasive VNS technology through the auricular concha area has emerged, such as ear-hung vagus nerve stimulators.

[0003] When the current auricular vagus nerve stimulation device is in use, it needs to be worn on the human head, but after use, it is stored on one side at any time, which is not only easy to be damaged but also inconvenient for reuse.
