What this means for you
Patient summary
Use what you've learned to teach someone else — clearly, honestly, and without hype. A one-page guide for a friend, family member, or community group is enough.
Clinician summary
Choose: epilepsy, depression, stroke rehab, headache, or RA. Build a one-page patient decision aid with indications, expected benefit, AEs, alternatives, time course, and decision criteria. Apply the course's A–F grading rubric to every claim.
Advanced note
Design a pre-registered taVNS trial: population, site, parameters, sham + blinding check, primary outcome, biomarker of engagement, blinding plan, sample size justification, safety monitoring, pre-specified analysis plan.
