Summary

This study looks at how a single, non-invasive session of vagus nerve stimulation through the ear (taVNS) affects heart rate and blood pressure in 20 healthy adults aged 18-45. Participants will receive both real and sham stimulation in random order to see if the treatment causes immediate changes. The goal is to understand the basic body responses, which could help design future ways to prevent or manage heart disease.
