I came across clinical trials using GammaCore for AS inflammation. It is already FDA approved for migraine headaches. Below is a link for the 'how to use' video.

Yes. My rheumatologist pointed out a corresponding clinical trial (in France.) I contacted the P.I. But it was too big a stretch to be enrolled. I learned details of the gamma core while writing a research report titled “Vagal effects of musical modes” for my Music-Thanatology training program (Accordaschool.org)

Of course I am using what I learned (especially about the splenetic- inflammatory axis) to “self medicate” through sound.
But results are ‘subtle’ and I am hoping to compare notes with someone who has had experience with the real thing.

Anybody?

While GammaCore is an interesting treatment option, the search results don't provide specific information about its use for AS.

While GammaCore is an interesting treatment option, the search results don't provide specific information about its use for AS. However, there are several established non-medication treatment approaches that can help manage AS symptoms, including TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), which is somewhat similar in being a non-invasive electrical stimulation therapy. For managing AS symptoms, current treatment options typically include NSAIDs, biologic therapies (like TNF inhibitors), physical therapy, and in some cases, surgery. If you're interested in exploring GammaCore, it would be best to discuss this option with your rheumatologist to understand if it might be appropriate as part of your treatment plan, especially since it's still being studied for AS.
