Vagus Nerve Hydrodissection to Support Autonomic Regulation

Vagus nerve hydrodissection, offered as part of the Neuro Reset at Extension Health, is an advanced interventional technique aimed at improving autonomic signaling. The procedure uses a precise column of dextrose and targeted peptides to gently separate the cervical vagus from surrounding tissues in the neck, supporting healthier vagal transmission. Current evidence includes case reports showing meaningful improvement in chronic widespread pain and other difficult-to-treat conditions. Because the cervical vagus sits deep within a complex anatomical corridor, the procedure requires high‑resolution ultrasound guidance and a specialist experienced in the neurovascular anatomy. We are actively tracking patient outcomes as part of an ongoing investigation to better understand its effects on long‑term pain control and overall autonomic regulation.
