Summary

Healthy participants will be included in this study by invitation and randomised into three groups. Participants in each group will receive bilateral transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation with the same frequency, current transit time and current intensity. Heart rate variability will be measured over the chest in the first group, over the right arm in the second group and over the left arm in the third group. Then, the differences between the groups in heart rate variability parameters (time-dependent, frequency-dependent) will be compared. The aim of this study is to examine the differences between heart rate variability measurements measured at different sites.

Conditions

  • Sympathetic; Imbalance

Interventions

DEVICE

Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation

Non-invasive transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation with special earphones placed in the ear will be applied to the participants for 20 minutes and a single session.
