Summary
A person with long COVID used three transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation devices — Truvaga, Pulsetto and a cheaper Walmart unit — for heat intolerance. Stimulation switched off the heat intolerance within a few minutes and prevented it for about 12 hours, and raised overnight HRV readings from their Oura ring. They said it did nothing else for them.

I have found that transcutaneous VNS turns off my heat intolerance within a few minutes. It also serves to prevent heat intolerance for about 12 hours. ... As far as I can tell, it doesn't do anything else for me.
