## TL;DR

This study shows that stimulating the vagus nerve through the ear at 30 Hz can reduce abdominal pain by affecting brain activity in the alpha frequency band.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is demonstrating how transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation at 30 Hz modulates brain EEG activity to alleviate abdominal pain.

## Key findings

- 30 Hz transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation reduces abdominal pain.
- The stimulation modulates EEG activity in the alpha frequency band of the brain.
- This method offers a non-invasive approach to pain management.
