electroCore Announces Publication in Frontiers in Neuroscience Highlighting Benefits of Non-Invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Patients with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury and PTSD

ROCKAWAY, N.J., April 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- electroCore, Inc. (Nasdaq: ECOR), a commercial-stage bioelectronic medicine and wellness company, announced today the publication of new clinical findings in Frontiers in Neuroscience titled “Adjunctive non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation for chronic mild traumatic brain injury with comorbid post-traumatic stress disorder: a post-hoc analysis” by Drs. Michael Ament, Peter Staats, Norianne Theresa Ingram, and Emily Leonard, demonstrating the potential benefits of adjunctive non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation (nVNS) in patients with chronic mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and comorbid post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

The publication reports results from a post-hoc analysis of 35 patients with chronic mTBI and PTSD. The analysis showed that adjunctive nVNS significantly reduced overall symptom burden, with observed improvements across cognitive, affective, and somatic domains. The study population represented a high-symptom-burden cohort commonly associated with persistent and difficult-to-treat neurobehavioral symptoms.

“Mild TBI can have lasting neurobehavioral consequences,” said Dr. Peter Staats, Chief Medical Officer of electroCore. “This data suggests that adjunctive vagus nerve stimulation may provide meaningful clinical benefit in this complex patient population and adds significantly to the literature on the use of vagus nerve stimulation in patients with PTSD.”

The full article can be accessed here: Frontiers: nVNS for mTBI and PTSD.

These findings contribute to the growing body of evidence supporting the therapeutic potential of nVNS in patients with chronic mTBI and comorbid PTSD.
