Nurosym has announced the availability of its wearable VNS device for professionals looking to support their nervous system during periods of ongoing work stress. The CE-marked medical device uses Parasym's proprietary AVNT™ (Auricular Vagal Neuromodulation Therapy) waveform to deliver gentle electrical pulses to the vagus nerve at the tragus.

The announcement comes as burnout and prolonged work stress continue to draw attention to the physical experience of feeling constantly on edge. The World Health Organization classifies burnout as an occupational phenomenon resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed, characterised by exhaustion, increased mental distance from work and reduced professional efficacy.
Nurosym is designed to support the nervous system through non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation. The vagus nerve carries signals between the brain and organs including the heart, lungs and gut, and plays a major role in how the body handles stress, rest and recovery. The device clips onto the tragus, a part of the outer ear where the vagus nerve reaches the skin. Using the proprietary AVNT™ waveform, the wearable VNS device provides electrical stimulation to the nerve without surgery or an implanted device.
The technology is designed to fit into an everyday routine, with most people using the device for around 30 minutes once or twice daily while working, reading, or watching television. Nurosym has been supported by more than 10 years of research and development, with 60+ completed clinical studies and 100+ ongoing clinical studies underway.
Work stress does not always end when the working day does. Deadlines, heavy workloads and prolonged periods of high pressure can make it difficult to switch off, with fatigue becoming a familiar concern for professionals experiencing sustained stress. In clinical studies, fatigue fell by an average of 48%.*
