Abstract in brief

This study tested whether transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) can help treat chronic insomnia by comparing it to a fake stimulation (sham) over 8 weeks.
Both groups showed improvements, but the actual taVNS was significantly more effective, reducing sleep problems by a clinically meaningful amount.
Safety and other mental health aspects were evaluated, showing promising results for taVNS as a potential treatment for insomnia.]
