As we age or in certain pathological conditions, the balance between the two branches changes such that sympathetic activity is more dominant, and this change in dominance is negatively correlated with prognosis in conditions such as heart failure. We have shown that non\u2010invasive stimulation of the tragus of the ear increases parasympathetic activity and reduces sympathetic activity and that the extent of this effect is correlated with the baseline cardiovascular parameters of different subjects. The effects could be attributable to activation of the afferent branch of the vagus and, potentially, other sensory nerves in that region. This indicates that tragus stimulation may be a viable treatment in disorders where autonomic activity to the heart is compromised.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1113\/ep086433","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,11]],"date-time":"2017-11-11T12:36:49Z","timestamp":1510403809000},"page":"326-331","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":94,"title":["Mechanisms
