Abstract:
The vagus nerve serves as an important part of the gut-brain axis, which regulates intestinal movement and secretion, emotional and immune response, and is involved in gut-brain interaction disorder in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). This article provides an overview of the vagus nerve function, the relationship between vagus nerve dysfunction in gut-brain axis and pathogenesis of IBS, and the application of vagus nerve in IBS treatment, with the aim for helping clinicians to better understand the correlation between vagus nerve and gut - brain interaction disorder, and shedding light on potential treatment in IBS.
