Vagus Nerve Implants for Rheumatoid Arthritis

Episode 288: Imagine a device the size of a fish oil pill that wraps directly around the vagus nerve. Powered by a tiny ASIC and antenna, it communicates with a doctor’s tablet and delivers one minute of targeted electrical stimulation each day, often while the patient sleeps. The minimally invasive procedure allows patients to go home the same afternoon. This bioelectronic approach aims to modulate inflammation at its source in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. Dr. Kevin Tracey explains the underlying science and device development.
