This Shock Collar Might Be The Future of PTSD Treatment

Scientists in Texas have developed a neck device using mild electricity to stimulate the vagus nerve, offering hope for trauma-free PTSD treatment. The vagus nerve, crucial for regulating heart rate and mood, could help rewire fear responses. This therapy combines vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) with prolonged exposure therapy (PET), showing promising results in early trials but requiring further testing before becoming a reliable option.
