This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a treatment called transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation (tcVNS)—a noninvasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in your neck—to see if it can help you wake up faster after spine surgery and recover better. Researchers want to know if this treatment can reduce confusion, depression, and cognitive problems that sometimes happen after surgery.
After surgery, some patients experience delayed waking, confusion (called delirium), depression, and thinking problems. This trial is testing whether this non-invasive nerve stimulation might help speed up recovery and prevent these complications.

If you join this study, you will receive either the nerve stimulation treatment or a sham (placebo) version during your spine surgery and while you're in the recovery room afterward. Researchers will monitor how quickly you wake up, track any confusion or mood changes, and test your thinking ability. The study involves visits around your surgery and follow-up assessments to see if the treatment helps you recover faster and feel better.
