How vagus stimulation affects hiccups

⚡

Vagus nerve links brain and gut

The vagus nerve connects brain signals to visceral organs, enabling a rest-and-digest state that can calm diaphragmatic spasms.

⚡

Autonomic balance supports calm breathing

Normalizing vagal tone stabilizes breathing patterns and reduces abrupt hiccup cycles.

⚡

Consistency strengthens response

Brief, repeated stimulation trains the reflex pathway to sustain quieter diaphragms over days.

⚡

Non-invasive tVNS is skin-based

Stimulation is delivered through the neck skin, avoiding needles and medications.

What to expect

How Pulsetto works for hiccups

Four minutes before bed is enough to prime the system for calmer diaphragmatic activity. Each session reinforces autonomic regulation.

1

Lowers diaphragmatic tension

The 4-minute session dampens vagal-triggered contractions that drive hiccups, creating a calmer baseline.

2

Supports parasympathetic shift

Skin-level stimulation nudges the nervous system toward rest-and-digest, aiding diaphragmatic control.

3

Fast initial calming

Early sessions often yield quicker breaths and fewer interruptions as autonomic balance settles.

4

Simple to fit

One brief session fits into any routine, no equipment beyond the device needed.

Usage Timeline

What to expect across your first 8 weeks

Initial shifts occur quickly, but consistent use builds steadier relief over time.

1
Day 1

You feel the shift

Some users notice slower breathing and less jaw tension after the first session, with variable timing for hiccup patterns.

2
Week 1

Breathing steadies

By week 1, episodes become shorter and less frequent as autonomic regulation improves.

3
Week 4

Measurable relief

Across pilots, hiccup frequency drops and comfort during meals increases.

4
Week 8

Stable routine

Hiccups remain controlled with ongoing nightly sessions, not eliminating all episodes but reducing disruption.
