Vagustim is a Turkish company that makes an ear vagus nerve stimulator. Its V2 controller connects to clip electrodes placed on the outer ear and offers adjustable sessions for stress, sleep and recovery.

How it works

The clips send mild electrical pulses through skin toward an auricular branch of the vagus nerve. This nerve carries signals between the brain and organs, supporting automatic regulation of alertness and rest. The app controls pulse settings, session length and intensity, which may feel like tingling.

Key considerations

Correct clip placement and clean skin support contact. Ear shape, pressure and intensity affect comfort, and irritation can occur. Evidence from broader vagus nerve research does not establish every advertised benefit for this product. Users must follow its safety instructions. Vagustim is sold for wellness and research use and does not diagnose or treat anxiety, insomnia or neurological disease.
