For those in the know, the modern non-invasive, drug-free approach to stress reduction has long been focused on vagus nerve stimulation. Why? Because it’s been shown in clinical trials to be effective in aiding sleep and reducing anxiety symptoms.
But, as vagus nerve stimulation has become more popular, there’s been a range of competitor products on the market that claim to be able to offer similar results without the vigorous testing process.
There are decades of research behind the wearable vagus nerve stimulation device from Pulsetto that other wellness tech companies have struggled to match.
Using vibrations, deep breathing or HRV exercises to stimulate the body’s primary cranial nerve (the vagus nerve) can relieve symptoms of stress and promote feelings of calm in both the mind and body, according to both tech researchers and customers. However, new devices on the market claim that alternating vibrations at the wrist’s pulse points can also help with stress management.
Worn around the wrist or held discreetly in your pockets, TouchPoint employs a different approach to stress management. Claiming to offer immediate relief during or before stressful situations occur, the device uses bilateral alternating vibrations controlled through an app.
It’s hard to say, really. The reviews for these new bilateral alternating vibration devices, like TouchPoint, are mixed. Users reference a lack of clear instructions for use, feelings of nausea, and only limited impact on their stress-related symptoms. However, without conclusive clinical data, it is difficult to corroborate these findings.
Pulsetto’s vagus nerve stimulator, on the other hand, regularly receives favorable feedback, as reported in the recently published buyer’s guide. Worn around the neck and made to specifically target the vagus nerve with customizable pulse settings, music and guided meditations through the integrated app, the device is noted to bring formerly stressed-out users improvements in just a few short sessions.
When it comes down to a direct compare and contrast, Pulsetto takes the prize in every category except price. However, the old adage “you get what you pay for” really should be borne in mind here.
