Autonomic regulation as a mechanistic pathway linking transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation to intrinsic capacity in older adults: protocol for a randomized sham-controlled trial

Intrinsic capacity (IC) reflects the integrated physical and mental capacities of older adults and is a central target of healthy ageing interventions. However, the biological mechanisms underlying IC decline remain poorly understood. Autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysregulation...
