Abstract

Noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation are widely used to test the involvement of specific cortical regions in various domains such as cognition and emotion. Despite the capability of stimulation techniques to test causal directions, this approach has been only sparsely used to examine the cortical regulation of autonomic nervous system (ANS) functions such as heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) and to test current models in this regard. In this preregistered (PROSPERO) systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to investigate, based on meta-regression, whether NIBS represents an effective method for modulating HR and HRV measures, and to evaluate whether the ANS is modulated by cortical mechanisms affected by NIBS. Here we have adhered to the PRISMA guidelines. In a series of four meta-analyses, a total of 131 effect sizes from 35 sham-controlled trials were analyzed using robust variance estimation random-effects meta-regression technique. NIBS was found to effectively modulate HR and HRV with small to medium effect sizes. Moderator analyses yielded significant differences in effects between stimulation of distinct cortical areas. Our results show that NIBS is a promising tool to investigate the cortical regulation of ANS, which may add to the existing brain imaging and animal study literature. Future research is needed to identify further factors modulating the size of effects. As many of the studies reviewed were found to be at high risk of bias, we recommend that methods to reduce potential risk of bias be used in the design and conduct of future studies.

  • Stimulating the vagus nerve non-invasively represents a valid target for health-related issues.

    “By considering the importance of the parasympathetic nervous system for health-related issues, stimulating non-invasively the vagus nerve represents a valid target (Gerritsen & Band, 2018; Schmaußer, Hoffmann, Raab, & Laborde, 2022; Sevoz-Couche & Laborde, 2022; Vanderhasselt & Ottaviani, 2022)”

    From Effects of voluntary slow breathing on heart rate and heart rate variability: A systematic review and a meta-analysis (2022) · cites this paper as Schmaußer, Hoffmann, Raab, & Laborde, 2022

    Section 1.1 links vagal activity and heart-rate variability to cardiovascular health, and the Discussion and Conclusions report that noninvasive brain stimulation can modulate heart rate and heart-rate variability. But the interventions reviewed are TMS and tDCS targeting brain regions, not noninvasive stimulation of the vagus nerve itself. The paper therefore does not establish that vagus-nerve stimulation is a valid target for health-related issues. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
