Abstract in brief

  • This study investigated whether transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) is safe and effective in improving sleep for people with primary insomnia, finding that it significantly reduced sleep problems after one month.
  • The treatment involved stimulating the ear area twice daily for a month and showed a much higher success rate (73%) compared to a control group (27%) in reducing insomnia symptoms.
  • While sleep quality improved, there were no significant changes in anxiety or depression scores, and no side effects were reported, suggesting tVNS is a promising and safe treatment option for primary insomnia.]
