The present invention relates to a vagus nerve stimulation method and apparatus. A vagus nerve stimulation apparatus of the present invention comprises: a magnetic field generation unit for generating a pulse-type magnetic field that stimulates a predetermined area including a user's vagus nerve by a current applied to a coil； a power supply unit for applying a current to the coil； and a control unit for controlling the intensity of a current applied to the coil, and a pulse width and a peak interval of the magnetic field, wherein the magnetic field has a predetermined peak intensity by using a bio-magnetic signal of the user. According to the present invention, a body function can be improved by using a pulse magnetic field having an intensity close to a bio-magnetic signal.本發明係關於一種迷走神經刺激方法及裝置。本發明的迷走神經刺激裝置包括：磁場生成單元，其憑藉著施加在線圈的電流生成脈衝形態的磁場，該磁場刺激包含使用者的迷走神經的預設領域；電源供應單元，為所述線圈施加電流；控制單元，控制施加在所述線圈的電流的強度、所述磁場的脈寬及峰值間距；所述磁場具有利用所述使用者的生物磁訊號設定的峰值強度。本發明能利用具備近似於生物磁訊號的強度的脈衝磁場改善身體功能。
