What is the Vagus Nerve?
The vagus nerve is one of the vital nerves that make up the parasympathetic nervous system—a network of connections that control the body and brain’s ability to relax. They work in contrast to the fight-or-flight impact of the sympathetic nervous system.
As the longest cranial nerve, the vagus nerve affects involuntary bodily functions such as your heart rate, digestion, and immune system activity. Two vagal nerves run down each side of your neck, from the lower part of the brain all the way down through the chest to your stomach. The two vagal nerves connect the brain to the heart and lungs and, when activated, can promote a sense of peace and calm.
Vagus Nerve Stimulation Therapy
Vagus nerve stimulation therapy is performed by using a device to stimulate the nerve with electrical impulses. While there are devices that can be implanted, non-invasive vagal nerve stimulation also provides substantial benefits for patients.
The device is placed against the skin of the neck, electrically stimulating the nerve to impact the messages sent between the brain and the body. Side effects are minimal and usually diminish over time if they occur at all.
Vagus nerve stimulator therapy sessions may not provide immediate results. It may take some months for the benefit to be clear, but for those who have not found medication effective, the results can be life-changing.
What Does Vagus Nerve Stimulation Treat?
Because the vagus nerve plays such a vital role in the function of our nervous system, it can impact a variety of conditions. Vagus nerve stimulation can be used to treat epilepsy and depression, and there is promising ongoing research for its applications in opioid addiction and bipolar disorder treatment as well.
It can be used alongside medication and traditional therapy to improve symptoms of depression. It may also be used when other treatment methods haven’t been effective. It has also been approved for addressing migraines and cluster headaches, blocking pain signals from reaching the brain.
Benefits of Vagus Nerve Stimulator Treatment
While research is still ongoing for all the potential applications of vagus nerve stimulation therapy, many patients have seen improvement in previously resistant conditions. There is evidence that it can help reduce addictive behaviors and relieve symptoms of withdrawal. It is a great option for those who haven’t found relief with medication and other forms of treatment.
The Importance of Mental Health in Addiction Treatment
Mental health treatment is valuable on its own, but in the context of addiction recovery, it is essential. Untreated behavioral health conditions often coincide with substance use disorders, resulting in a complex network of physical and emotional symptoms. Untangling these sensitive circumstances can be challenging, but at Worth Wellness, we have experts who can help.
Dual Diagnosis
Our dual-diagnosis treatment for women is an integrated approach to care that seeks to address mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD, alongside substance use disorders. The connection between substance abuse and mental health is complicated, but our trauma-informed staff is trained to address and treat those who find themselves caught in the middle.
Clients may not be aware of underlying mental health conditions prior to seeking treatment. Diagnosing, addressing, and treating co-morbid conditions can improve your chances for lasting recovery and long-term health, therefore helping you pave the way to a more balanced life.
