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 may be a promising alternative. Here, we present the case of an adolescent girl with treatment-resistant depression who received transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation over the course of 7.5 months.
