Specific Risks Related to Brain UseThe US Pro 2000 is explicitly not intended for use on the head or face, as noted in manufacturer guidelines. Applying ultrasound to the brain could result in serious risks, including: Thermal damage: Localized heating could harm sensitive brain tissue. Cavitation: Formation and collapse of microbubbles in brain tissue or blood vessels could cause microhemorrhages or disrupt neural structures. Neurological effects: Unintended stimulation of brain regions could lead to seizures, cognitive changes, or other neurological disturbances.

When yall are doing your head are you doing forehead and right temple on medium for 5min?

So I have tried splenic ultrasound before. I did splenic ultrasound consistently for several months but never actually noticed a difference from it. I also did not notice a difference when I stopped. Now, I have been seeing a lot of buzz again for ultrasound in the context of treating chronic illness. I am housebound with ME/CFS and suffer from profoundly debilitating symptoms so I was encouraged. I am seeing that using ultrasound on the temple and the neck work better than the spleen for some people. As such I have pulled my US Pro 2000 2nd edition out of storage and have started experimenting again. I did 5 minutes on medium intensity to my right temple. I definitely felt something, not necessarily positive, kind of like a buzzing and pressure on that part of my brain. After using it the feeling has been lingering, and a similar feeling has spread to the opposite side of where I used the ultrasound. It is mildly uncomfortable. 15 minutes later it feels like someone is pressing firmly on both my temples. This feeling intensifies if I move my head. Makes me wonder if I overdid it. I wonder how did other people feel when they started ultrasound on the right temple? And what could I be doing to improve my technique?

Hell all ! Whew! the group is expanding faster than I envisioned ! I want to provide a "Full Scope" view of what you *can* do with the Vagus Nerve Stimulation Tech we have available (Once you get to LVL 2) but - which, if you read this post, will be able to see right here on the wall. 1) Vagus Nerve Cervical Stimulation with Ultrasound: You will be placing the Ultrasound on the left side of the neck - 2-5 Mins is good - Start Low and Work Way Up - Shouldn't Feel Anything from Ultrasound Itself - but effects can be very calming if used before bed, assisting in Sleep, and improving HRV. 2) Spleen Stimulation with Ultrasound: A relatively difficult spot to stimulate, get help if possible. But can definitely be done yourself too. Going to want 5 mins on Medium to High intensity, due to likelihood of imperfect placement, and it's going to be "peering" through rib cage window slits. Excellent for helping your body control inflammation globally. 3) Cerebral Ultrasound - Insular Cortex Stimulation: This targets a region of the brain that deals with your bodies memory of previous inflammatory responses. Thus, stimulation of this region increases brain neuroplasticity, and enables you to "move on" from previous cyclical inflammatory responses. (People associate emotional "pain" with an inflammation response - thus a painful memory (trigger) (trauma even) can produce an identical inflammatory spike throughout the body) - The Insular Cortex is where this happens. Highly supportive of Spleen Stimulation protocol. 4) Other uses have been explored for Lymphatic Drainage, but this is on a case by case basis, and typically utilized best when/if the body has some major lymphatic drainage issue (water retention / lymph swelling in specific parts of the body [such as left side of body near armpits] that may benefit from increased lymphatic drainage activity) - Ultrasound amplifies Lymphatic systems (also glymphatic brain cleaning is activated as well) - and is generally utilized for 5 minutes on Medium to High settings, as is comfortable on the body - and likely for 1-2 weeks until swelling has subsided.

I have been doing the right temple on low, 5 min once daily for the past few days. It feels calming, but I'm not noticing anything crazy (good or bad). Does that mean I should increase intensity and/or duration? Or move around to other spots?
