Abstract
We have developed a new type of device for electrical stimulation of the free nerve endings in the auricle, mainly the vagus nerve, with remote control in which stimulation characteristics of three independent stimulation channels can be adapted to the patient’s needs. The effect of stimulation for sleep improvement was demonstrated on 8 female insomniacs. Two-day full polysomnography data demonstrated objectively improved sleep parameters such as a decreased sleep
latency time and wakefulness after sleep onset. Normalization of sleep structure – an increase of REM sleep and stage 2 with a decrease of stage 1 while stages 3+4 remain approximately the same duration – was evident.
