Summary
Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (TENS) involves stimulation of the left and/or right auricular branch of the vagus nerve with low-frequency electrical impulses. In recent years, the possibilities of using this technology in chronic conditions characterized by immune and metabolic dysregulation have been studied. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of TENS in reducing weight and improving quality of life in patients with various degrees of obesity.
