ROCKAWAY, N.J., April 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — electroCore, Inc. (Nasdaq: ECOR), a commercial-stage bioelectronic medicine and wellness company, announced today that new data presented at the 2025 International Brain Injury Association World Congress highlights the effectiveness of gammaCore® non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation (nVNS) in treating concussive symptoms associated with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).

Dr. Michael Ament of Cherry Creek Neurology presented his study entitled, “Adjunctive Non-Invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation Helps Reduce Symptoms of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury,” on March 22, 2025, demonstrating significant symptom relief when using nVNS in patients suffering from mTBI. His findings underscore the urgent need for nonpharmaceutical treatment options to address the complex and often persistent symptoms of mild TBI.

In a study involving 102 patients with mild TBI, adjunctive use of gammaCore (nVNS) significantly improved 22 out of 27 measured concussive symptoms. The most notable improvements were observed in post-traumatic headache, nausea, dizziness, and depression. Importantly, the data showed no significant difference in symptom improvement between patients with recent traumatic brain injuries (three months or less) and those with older injuries (three years or more), suggesting that neuromodulation may be beneficial regardless of the time since injury.

“This study highlights the role of vagus nerve stimulation in alleviating the long-term effects of mild traumatic brain injury,” said Dr. Ament. “It reinforces that it is never too late to consider neuromodulation as a treatment approach for this challenging patient population.”

Dr. Peter Staats, Chief Medical Officer of electroCore, commended Dr. Ament’s research, stating, Dr. Ament is to be applauded for his efforts in demonstrating the clinical efficacy of gammaCore in improving concussive symptoms in such a large patient cohort. His work highlights the importance of vagus nerve stimulation as a viable treatment option for patients suffering from the debilitating effects of mild TBI.”
