Truvaga, a non-invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulator (niVNS), is a portable, natural, non-pharmaceutical option for anxiety and sleep support.
Dr. Adame recommends Truvaga for:
- Improved Sleep
- Stress Reduction
- Enhancing parasympathetic tone ("rest and digest")
- Reduce sympathetic arousal ("flight, flight, or freeze")
- Reducing Pain
- Procedural Pain and Anxiety (Dr. Adame is a needle-phobe and uses Truvaga when she gets shots or lab draws!))
Truvaga works by delivering mild electrical impulses to the vagus nerve around the carotid artery which activates autonomic and limbic pathways to modulate sleep, stress, and vagal tone. Truvaga increases heart rate variability and baroreflex sensitivity after single and repeated sessions. Studies showed improvement in objective (blunted stress biomarkers) and subjective (perceived stress) outcomes.Truvaga works best with repeated use. Dr. Adame recommends THREE times daily PLUS as needed for optimal outcomes.
For our patients, you can try Truvaga next time you are in our clinic!
