Vagus nerve stimulation therapy for treatment-resistant PTSD

For those of us who want to try VNS but not get surgery, the most proven device seems to be the Nurosym, which is an electrode that clips on to your left tragus. It's also not approved for use in the US.
I think they just don’t work universally/don’t understand the myriad pathways of presentation and are bad at predicting them - IE PTSD is a set of symptoms but we try to see it as a set of causes). There’s a big problem with “evidence based” because many fall into the cracks.
An implant is quite a thing though - looking at the wiki for VNS it seems to be seen as effective for a whole array of things, but without understanding why.
Not dismissing the device, but I'm wondering why a massage can't do the job ? It could even be done by the patient if explained how to.
I have seen these types of devices for sale (Sensate, etc) and wondered if they provide benefit to those using them.
