In this video, Dr Younger discusses a recent article -

Effect of Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Chronic Low Back Pain: A Pilot Study
https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/13/24/7601

Dr Younger is working on a similar study to test the efficacy of taVNS for ME/CFS.

New preprint! We observed a nonlinear relationship between pupil dilation and the intensity of transcutaneous auricular #vagus nerve stimulation (#taVNS) in adult humans. We discuss the potential role of stimulation parameterization in using #pupillometry as biomarker of taVNS’s neuromodulatory effects.
