Using Nuropod alongside your medications and other therapies
Nuropod is generally safe to use alongside your existing treatments and medications. However, there are some considerations to keep in mind. Vagus nerve stimulation may not be suitable for, individuals with a history of trigeminal neuralgia, individuals with a pacemaker or with an another active implanted medical device that may interfere with vagal pathways, those diagnosed with severe bradycardia, or individuals with permanent implanted metallic or electronic devices or jewellery near the ear tragus (within 2 inches) that cannot be removed during the treatment. Individuals who have undergone vagus nerve surgery (cervical vagotomy) may not be receiving any beneficial effect from using Nuropod. Children (people below 18 years of age) and pregnant women should also avoid using the device.
If you're unsure whether Nuropod is suitable for you, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine whether it’s safe and appropriate for your unique needs, particularly if you fall under any of these categories. - for review
Earrings and piercings
We recommend that individuals with tragus piercings that are not healed and tragus earrings that cannot be removed avoid using the Nuropod. If you have a piercing near the application site, we suggest removing the piercing and allowing the skin to heal for at least one week before starting your use of Nuropod.
Use in children
We do not recommend Nuropod for individuals under the age of 18. - for review
