🚨Attention patients with #ulcerativecolitis ages 10-39🚨
The Feinstein institute @NorthwellHealth & @Cohen_Childrens is conducting a #clinicaltrial evaluating non-invasive #vagusnervestimulation for patients with #UC!

🔬 The vagus nerve is the brain’s direct line to the gut, and it may hold the key to treating IBD.
@BenSahnMD of The Feinstein Institutes explains how vagus nerve stimulation could ease inflammation in conditions like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

Incredible milestone discovery! Congrats @SetPointMed.
The future of #bioelectronicmedicine looks promising!
Congrats to @SetPointMed for proving the inflammatory reflex benefits patients with RA ! Now onto other autoimmune conditions....
"The study met its primary endpoint with a statistically significant greater proportion of study participants achieving an ACR20 response in the treatment group compared with the control group at 12 weeks (p=0.0209). An ACR20 response is a composite measure of the effectiveness for RA treatments set forth by the American College of Rheumatology."

I am deeply honored and sincerely grateful to Professor Wigzell and the Foundation for this recognition. It celebrates the teamwork of outstanding & brilliant colleagues. Having met some of the first patients who benefited from this work, we now in turn, dedicate this prize to them.

Thank you @Newsday for highlighting the promising results of this pilot study! Another amazing step forward in the treatment of patients with #IBD.
The pilot study is being followed with a larger #clinicaltrial that includes young adults ages 10-39 w/ #ulcerativecolitis
The #vagusnerve is often referred to as the body’s superhighway – it connects the brain with all major organs and controls functions like heart rate, breathing and our body’s immune response.
Due to its anti-inflammatory role, #VNS could be used as a non-drug therapy for #IBD

Zap your ears for a happy #gut! ⚡
Noninvasive #vagus nerve stimulation was shown to be effective in reducing inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract by researchers at @NorthwellHealth @BenSahnMD & @KevinJTraceyMD

Thank you @BioelectronicM for publishing the results of this proof-of concept trial showing non-invasive non-pharmacological transcutaneous #vns significantly reduced inflammation in more than 64 percent of pediatric patients with #IBD!

Young people who suffer from serious #gastrointestinal illnesses such as #crohnsdisease and #ulcerativecolitis may find relief from a #noninvasive treatment that stimulates the #vagusnerve through their ear.

Medical research is the key to curing disease & to think that #vagusnerve stimulation can reduce inflammation in patients with IBD is incredible. It's important to consider the advances we've made and how far we've come. @Cohen_Childrens @BenSahnMD 🔗: bit.ly/45QXNvM
I'm excited to share our publication showing efficacy of #vagusnervestimulation in #pediatricIBD! It's an exciting time for #bioelectronicmedicine! @CrohnsColitisFn @NorthwellHealth @KevinJTraceyMD

“Proud to acknowledge #WorldIBDDay on May 19th! Hundreds of #clinicaltrials are now underway to investigate how harnessing the body’s peripheral wiring might help broadly in the treatment of acute and chronic disease.” #vagusnervestimulation #ulcerativecolitis @CrohnsColitisFn
It’s Take Steps Week for the CCF on LI! Excited to highlight Dr. Raluca Vrabie, our medical honoree! Dollars raised means more research for new medicines, bioelectronic therapies, precision medicine, and another step toward a cure.
