My rheumatologist has recommended this device for me. She said it was FDA approved, which doesn’t necessarily make me trust it.
She also said she was involved with trialing the device. It is supposed to be available in my state later this summer. It was described as a small device the size of a large capsule that would be implanted in my neck and will stimulate the vagas nerve for just 30 seconds a day.
I am unable to take biologic drugs or other useful immunosuppressants. This would supposedly decrease the inflammation without the use of medication. She asked me to review the research and the device information and return this summer to discuss. This platform is the only other source I have seen this brought up other than my rheumatologist. I will be following the information. At this time, I am not personally ready to jump on board just yet.
