Kurzfassung:
There is inconsistent evidence supporting a noradrenergic mechanism of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS). This statistically well‐powered study aimed to further test whether taVNS at the cymba concha modulates markers of tonic and phasic noradrenergic activity (pupil‐related indices, cortisol, salivary alpha‐amylase). The zero‐findings of this study question whether continuous taVNS with a set of commonly used stimulation parameters (25 Hz, 250 μs, individually tailored intensity below pain) modulates noradrenergic activity via a vagal pathway.
