Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Find the stimulation threshold of the facial nerve (ganglion Geniculate) associated with tolerability and safety in subjects Healthy humans.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Magnetic stimulation of the facial nerve (geniculate ganglion) in humans can induce changes in cerebral blood flow safely, without generating adverse effects unknown to the technique.

Our specific objectives:

1. Perform tolerability and safety tests of magnetic stimulation on the facial nerve.
2. Establish the optimal stimulation threshold associated with tolerability in order to apply it to the final design of the Magnetic Stimulation (MS) system.
3. Measure whether the threshold found shows any increase in cerebral perfusion in the subject with respect to their baseline.

Study Groups

Vitalflow treatment

The subject's exposure will be through a ramp model of increments in magnetic stimulation power delivered to the facial nerves bilaterally. Increases in magnetic stimulation will be 10% for 10 seconds from 10% to 60%. Subsequent to this will be evaluated for 5 minutes in the power of tolerability of the subject (60% 70%, 80% or 90%).
