"By attaching near the ear, the device targets the auricular branches of the trigeminal and vagus nerves to regulate menstrual cycle symptoms and help the body return to a rested state. These nerves play an important role throughout the menstrual cycle and release estrogen and progesterone, two essential sex hormones. They also target muscle contraction, blood flow, digestion, and more, a few body functions that change during a period, which explains the increase in cramps and tightening of blood vessels."
"Users can adjust the device's neurostimulation to their desired intensity. At CES, an OhmBody representative explained that the ear piece's neurostimulation has a similar to a foot falling asleep. Women on their periods can use the device, which includes a patented ear piece and a handheld device resembling a baby monitor for two hours during the days they're on their menstrual period."
"A few studies have found that vagus nerve stimulation makes a difference for those with dysmenorrhea, as well as reduce heavy bleeding."
OhmBody is a wearable neurostimulation device designed to reduce menstrual symptoms and cramps without medication. The device attaches near the ear to stimulate auricular branches of the trigeminal and vagus nerves. Stimulation targets hormone release, muscle contraction, blood flow, digestion, and other functions that change during the menstrual cycle. Users can adjust stimulation intensity and wear a patented earpiece plus a handheld controller for about two hours on period days. The sensation is described as similar to a foot falling asleep. Early studies show vagus nerve stimulation can help dysmenorrhea and reduce heavy bleeding.
