We are excited to open recruitment for a new study on vagus nerve stimulation for people with ME.
We are looking for 40 people with ME who live in North West England (Liverpool / Manchester) who have never tried transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation before. Information about what the study involves and how to register your interest is on the participant information sheet, which can be downloaded from this webpage
The study builds on our previous surveys in 2023 and this year about the experiences of people with ME in using vagus nerve stimulation.
This series of projects were initiated by Dawn Wiley, founder of the Facebook Group “A Vagus Adventure AVA” and Andrea Parker, an Occupational Therapist in South Australia. Dawn and Andrea use transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation as part of the management of their ME, and they have been part of the project team for this new study. Their input has been instrumental in making the study as accessible and safe as possible, and we are thrilled to work with them.
We are grateful to the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy Charitable Trust Physiotherapy Research Foundation Award who have provided funds for this project. And one of our co-founders, Karen Leslie, will be using the project as part of her PhD. The ME Association have very kindly offered to support her with university fees – thank you!
