#12Why not use EMDR instead? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_movement_desensitization_a...
Instead of either/or why not try both?

#13My friend’s startup is doing great stuff in this space to make a VNS device for consumers. https://zenbud.health/
Neat, sensate is another device in this area.
Bio and neurofeedback devices are going to be an interesting space the next 10 years.

#14Just 9 patients. :-(
It is quite normal to start with small groups for economic reasons. If the first results look promising, you can scale up. If they are a wash, you haven't spent too much money on chasing yet another placebo.
Also an opportunity to further design or evolve the study.

#15Anyone done VNS at home?

Not just economic (although it definitely ties into it) -- finding an eligible patient population also another complicating dimension.

None of these treatments has a 100% success rate. You can try EMDR on Youtube and if it worked all the time, psychiatrists would be out of a job.

Do these work the same as the professional/medical ones? A friend of mine had one during a study, and she claimed it worked by electrostimulation (small electric shocks), not ultrasonic waves? She wanted to buy one of those devices because they really helped her but the cost was upwards of 1500€, this would probably be within range for her, assuming it works the same way?
text says "implanted device", which is going to put in by a neuro surgeon

I wasn't talking about the article, I was replying to a comment about the zenbuds
