What protocols should I use if I am referring AVNT to my patients?

Our recommended protocol is optimised for accessibility, ease of use, and impact for patients.

The recommendation is 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening daily.

Stimulation should be set at when the sensory threshold is met, patients should feel a light tingling at their tragus that shouldn’t be uncomfortable or painful.

We would recommend using the device for at least 30 days regularly to feel its effects, this may vary depending on the individual.
