The Soterix Medical taVNS system brings rigorous scientific standards to vagus nerve stimulation research. Unlike generic TENS units often repurposed for this task, the Soterix taVNS stimulator is designed to target the Auricular Branch of the Vagus Nerve (ABVN) with specific, validated waveforms. It allows researchers to explore treatments for epilepsy, depression, inflammation, and cognitive enhancement without the risks of surgical implantation.

The device offers total flexibility in stimulation parameters—including frequency, train duration, and inter-train intervals—enabling the replication of established protocols (typically 20-30Hz, 250-500µs). It features unique unlocking mechanisms (Code-based, Time-based, or ElectraRx™ web-based) to support both in-clinic and remote-supervised trials. The system is paired with proprietary electrode solutions like RELIfit-Tragus and Easy-Clip to ensure consistent contact with the tragus or cymba conchae, solving the reproducibility crisis common in taVNS studies.

Key Features

• Research-Grade Precision: The only system offering the specific pulse trains and safety features required for rigorous human taVNS trials.
  
• Remote Supervision Ready: Fully integrated with the ElectraRx™ platform, allowing researchers to manage and monitor home-based trials remotely.
  
• Optimized Electrodes: Exclusive accessories like RELIfit and Easy-Clip ensure stable electrical contact with the irregular geometry of the ear, minimizing variability.
  
• Flexible Protocols: Open parameter architecture allows users to define custom stimulation trains, critical for replicating varied literature findings.
  
• Sham Capable: Electrodes can be placed on the earlobe (a region with minimal vagal innervation) to serve as a valid active sham control.
  
• MRI Compatible: specialized kits allow for simultaneous taVNS and fMRI imaging to visualize brainstem and cortical activation.
