Effect of Daily Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation (taVNS) on Proteinuria in Pediatric Patients With Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome

Participants in this study will perform home transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) for 5 minutes a day for a 6-month period. The device that will be used is the commercially available Roscoe Medical TENS 7000 vagus nerve stimulator. The device will be attached to the Cymba Concha of the ear via an electrode ear clip. The intensity of the stimulation will be slowly increased and adjusted to individual tolerability for each treatment. TaVNS will be performed for 5 minutes daily for a period of 6 months.
