ABSTRACT

Adolescence is a critical time period for the onset of depression and many patients do not respond to treatment. Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) may be a promising alternative. Here we present the case of an adolescent girl with treatment resistant depression, receiving taVNS over the course of 7.5 months.
