Study Arms (2)
Effect of tvns in glucose tolerance ,insulin resistance,stress hormones ,and mood states in obesity
ACTIVE COMPARATORAll patients received transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. Allsubsequent ttt will be 3 times per week for 12weeks . Patients will also instructed to complete diary booklet each day to describe side effects corresponding with or temporally related to ttt. The investigators checked all booklets at the 6 and 12 week assessments. The points for tvns are located in the auricular concha area where there is rich vagus nerve branch distribution. Stimulation parameters will be 1MA of electrical current frequency of 20 HZ with pulse duration less than or equal 1ms ,administration once daily lasted 45 min the intensity adjusted based on the individual tolerance of patients. Control group Sham tavns ttt location at the superior scapha , where no vagus nerve distribution, after final session, all baseline measurements will be repeated using the same procedures . All data will be anonymized and stored securely .data will be verified by double \_checked , and analysis by SPSS v26.
