Özet
Background: This study is to investigate the effect of non-invasive auricular VNS on cycle ergometer test and physiological parameters in healthy individuals.Methods: 46 people participated in the study. The participants were randomly divided into 3 groups as Above Threshold, Under Threshold and Control according to the sensation of electrical current on ears. The participants were evaluated 3 times; before the application, after the first and second bicycle exercises. Numerical pain scale, pulse rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and distance travelled during exercise for cycle ergometer test.Results: There was no significant difference in 1st measurement, 2nd measurement, 3rd measurement of pulse rate, saturation value and performance in the control group, sub-threshold group and above threshold group (p˃ 0.05). The 2nd measurement of NPS value was significantly lower in the above threshold group than in the control group and the below threshold group (p˂ 0.05). The 1st measurement, 2nd measurement, 3rd measurement respiratory rate and 3rd measurement diastolic pressure values were significantly higher in the sub-threshold group (p˂ 0.05).Conclusion: In healthy individuals, short-term non-invasive auricular VNS does not affect cycle ergometer test during exercise. This may be due to the fact that the application time is kept short and the application is a single time. In VNS application, feeling the current and/or current intensity may affect parameters such as respiratory rate and blood pressure.
