Why Research VNS?
The vagus nerve is the key component of the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems act reciprocally. The vagus nerve is critical in many therapeutic areas due to its beneficial effect in restoring balance in cases where sympathetic activity is abnormally raised or parasympathetic activity is lowered.
Researchers are investigating: VNS mechanisms of action, restoration of autonomic balance, laying new neural pathways during tasks, reduction of symptoms and systemic imflammatory responses and much more...
Participate in Phoenix CR Trials
We are looking for medical clinics, hospitals and research facilities to conduct IRB supported clinical trials for the Phoenix CR device.
If you are interested in participating and have a PTSD specific protocol, please contact us. We will work with you throughout the entire process to assure that you and your clients are getting the support and care needed for success.
We appreciate all the clinics assisting in this stage of Phoenix CR's FDA approval process. We look forward to the day that we can make this life changing medical device available to the public.

“It’s not a drug that I’m putting in my system and its not something that I’m smoking. So, if you’re telling me that you can put something in my ear and make me better, sign me up every day of the week!”
