Drug-Free Pain Treatment with Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation aVNS
VIVO sets a new standard in pain treatment with auricular vagus nerve stimulation (aVNS). It offers a personalized treatment option with ease of use and low side effects. This minimally invasive, innovative method effectively and sustainably combats chronic pain. The vagus nerve plays a significant role in the mechanism of pain, and VIVO intervenes precisely here. By stimulating the nerve in the ear, it triggers the body's own pain management mechanism sustainably.
Pain is a Global Problem
One in five people worldwide suffers from chronic pain. Especially, back and lower back pain are among the leading causes of these pains. Despite treatment, more than 30% of these individuals experience serious limitations in their daily lives.
VIVO can change this.

Method
Application of VIVO to the Patient
aVNS relieves pain without the known side effects of medication. This minimally invasive method works through three small needle electrodes attached by the doctor to the outer ear. The vagus nerve is electrically stimulated through these electrodes. The signals are transmitted directly to the brain, where they activate the body's own pain relief mechanisms.
Advantages of Treatment with VIVO®
Pain varies from person to person, and so is its treatment. VIVO's aVNS enables tailored treatment adapted to the individual patient's pain perception, promising sustainable results. Using three small needle electrodes on the outer ear, VIVO with aVNS therapy is minimally invasive compared to medication and is well tolerated.
