Clinical Trial Summary

To demonstrate the effect of non invasive vagus nerve (VNS) stimulation on heart rate variability and MSNA signal.


Clinical Trial Description

First part: Assessment of the muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) at baseline using microneurography performed on the superficial peroneal nerve.

Second part: Acquisition of the MSNA signal during non-invasive VNS and apnea. Non-invasive VNS is performed using several frequencies of stimulation. Maximal and voluntaries apnea are performed at the end of the expiration.

Continuous recording of the following parameters:

- non-invasive arterial blood pressure

- R-R interval

- electrocardiogram

- MSNA activity

- respiratory curve signal

- respiratory rate, oxygen saturation ;
