摘要： Presented herein are techniques in which a specific branch of the vagal nerve that extends to the car, referred to as the auricular branch of the vagal nerve (ABVN), is stimulated via an implantable stimulator. Described herein are implantable stimulation assembly arrangements for implantation adjacent to the auricular branch of the vagal nerve, and use of the implantable stimulating assembly arrangements in order to electrically stimulate the auricular branch of the vagal nerve.
