Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Healthy participants aged 18-45 years will be included in the study. The inclusion criteria will be determined as being 18 years of age or older and not having any acute or chronic disease. Exclusion criteria will be determined as being previously involved in any neuromodulation intervention, smoking or alcohol use, and regular medication use.
Participants included in the study will be randomised into three groups and transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation will be applied. The duration of treatment will be 20 minutes and single session stimulation will be performed. Current intensity, current passage time and frequency will be planned to be the same in each patient. Before and after stimulation, heart rate variability will be measured over the chest in the first group, over the right arm in the second group and over the left arm in the third group. Then, heart rate variability parameters (time-dependent, frequency-dependent) will be compared between the groups.
