Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation at Biio offers targeted neuromodulation for POTS, ME/CFS, and Long COVID through evidence-based auricular stimulation protocols. While traditional approaches often address symptoms individually, tVNS works by stimulating the vagus nerve through the ear to restore autonomic balance and reduce systemic inflammation—targeting the underlying mechanisms driving these conditions.
The therapy involves daily one-hour sessions using a specialised device that delivers precise electrical stimulation to the auricular branch of the vagus nerve. This stimulation activates natural regulatory pathways that help stabilise heart rate variability, reduce orthostatic symptoms, and modulate inflammatory responses. Clinical research demonstrates significant improvements in autonomic function, with patients experiencing measurable reductions in heart rate increases upon standing and enhanced overall nervous system stability.
Your tVNS treatment integrates with your broader Biio care team through our biiography platform, enabling coordinated monitoring of autonomic function alongside other therapeutic interventions. The home-based nature of this therapy means you can maintain consistent treatment while your case manager tracks progress and adjusts protocols based on your response—complex care made simple.
1. Initial Consultation with Integrative Physiotherapist
Your journey begins with a focused consultation where our integrative physiotherapist assesses your symptoms and autonomic function to develop your personalised tVNS protocol. This session includes device training, proper electrode placement instruction, and protocol customisation based on your specific presentation—whether managing POTS, ME/CFS, or Long COVID symptoms.
2. Home-Based Treatment Implementation
Following your consultation, you take your tVNS device home to begin daily one-hour treatment sessions. Your personalised protocol specifies stimulation parameters, timing, and session frequency tailored to your condition and symptom patterns, enabling consistent therapeutic intervention in your own environment.
3. Regular Progress Monitoring
Our team maintains contact through scheduled check-ins (weekly, fortnightly, or monthly based on your needs) to monitor your response and adjust protocols as needed. This ongoing support ensures optimal therapeutic benefit while addressing any questions or concerns about your treatment.
4. Protocol Refinement and Long-term Management
As your autonomic function improves, we adapt your protocol to maintain progress and address changing needs. After three months, you have the option to purchase your device outright, transitioning to independent management with continued support available as needed.
