主　　题：transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation auricular branch of vagus nerve neuromodulation efficacy 

摘      要：Implantable cervical vagus nerve stimulation(i VNS) is a representative and promising neuromodulation.However,the invasive nature restricts its application.Traditional auricular acupuncture treatment has a long history.The auricular branch of the vagus nerve(ABVN) is a branch on the surface of the ear.Some studies demonstrates that transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation(ta VNS) would achieve similar effects as i VNS.Ta VNS and i VNS share a common anatomical basis and acting mechanism.In this article,we made a comparison between i VNS and ta VNS in indications and efficacy.The recent studies have revealed similar clinical efficacy of ta VNS,ta VNS would expand the indication of i VNS.Highquality clinical evidences are needed before ta VNS become be an alternative of i VNS.
