What this Trial Is About
This study looks at how auricular vagus nerve stimulation (AVNS) affects neck pain, heart rate variability, and balance in college athletes, additionally, if different settings of auricular vagus nerve stimulation (AVNS) affect neck pain, heart rate variability, and balance in college athletes. The participants will be split into two groups, each receiving AVNS with different settings. The study hypothesizes that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) will reduce pain perception in college athletes. It is expected that auricular vagus nerve stimulation (AVNS) will decrease heart rate variability (HRV) in this population. Additionally, it is anticipated that college athletes undergoing AVNS will exhibit improved balance. The Investigators also believe that AVNS will decrease neck pain and enhance neck function. Finally, it is proposed that different AVNS parameters will have varying effects on pain intensity, HRV, and balance in collegiate athletes.
