Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS)

This medical treatment involves delivering electrical impulses to a major cranial nerve that plays a key role in regulating various involuntary bodily functions, including heart rate, digestion, and mood. It is typically achieved using an implanted device similar to a pacemaker, although non-invasive methods stimulating branches of the nerve through the skin are also being explored. Approved primarily for treating certain types of epilepsy and treatment-­resistant depression, it aims to modulate brain activity and improve symptoms by influencing nerve signaling.

Cannabis

Cannabis, also [controvers­ially] called "marijuana", or "weed", as a medication for the relief and management of pain and inflammation related symptoms. Available in topical, smokable, and edible forms. Best in combination, but individually, topical is best for immediate targeted relief of joint and nerve pain, smokable is best for broader muscle pain, and edible is best for general internal pain. Anecdotally, full spectrum products are more effective than individual compound concentrates for long-term efficacy.

Amantadine

A medication originally developed as an antiviral drug to treat influenza A, but it's now more commonly used to manage symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and drug-induced movement disorders. It works by increasing dopamine activity in the brain and may also have some NMDA receptor antagonist effects, which help reduce abnormal brain signaling. Common side effects include dizziness, insomnia, and nausea, and it should be used with caution in people with kidney problems.
