Scientists aim to harness power of body’s electrical impulses to treat patients.
Early clinical trials with a device that stimulates the vagus nerve, the body’s longest individual nerve which extends from the brain stem to the abdomen.
This exerts an anti-inflammatory effect that will help rheumatoid arthritis patients and those suffering from Crohn’s disease, caused by inflammation in the digestive tract.
