Successful removal and reimplant of vagal nerve stimulator device after 10 years

Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2012
The number of implanted vagal nerve stimulators is growing and the need for removal or revision of the devices will become even more frequent. A significant concern about Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) therapy is the presence of the spiral stimulating ...

Additive effects of acetylcholine released by vagal nerve stimulation on atrial rate

, 1975
In reserpinized dogs, the decrease in atrial rate (AR) as a function of the frequency of stimulation (supramaximal strength) of a single vagal nerve can be described satisfactorily by a rectangular hyperbola (RH).

Genetic testing among patients evaluated for epilepsy surgery

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Genetic testing performed to identify the underlying etiology of epilepsy has become increasingly common and is now being recommended as part of the presurgical evaluation for epilepsy surgery. This study aimed to characterize the types of genetic tests performed in patients evaluated for epilepsy surgery and assess how genetic ...

Vagal Nerve Stimulation and Patient Selection

, 2012
Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) is a technique applied in patients with intractable epilepsy. Patients who are not eligible to epilepsy surgery and those who are accepted as failure after surgery are candidates for VNS. A meta analysis revealed that 50% of

Electroclinical phenotypes—genetic characterization of developmental and epileptic encephalopathies in a cohort study

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are characterized by refractory seizures and frequently recurring epileptic activity with neurodevelopmental delay or regression that usually begin in early life. We aimed to define the relationship between electroclinical features and etiology, as well as the genotype–phenotype ...

Dose-Optimization of Respiratory-Gated Auricular Vagal Afferent Nerve Stimulation (RAVANS) for Blood Pressure Modulation in Hypertensive Patients

, 2019
DigitalThe objective of this study was to determine the optimal frequency of respiratory-gated auricular vagal afferent nerve stimulation (RAVANS) for the modulation of blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Twelve hypertensive subjects (52.5±6.0 years,

KBG syndrome: A scoping review of electroclinical features of patients with epilepsy

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives KBG syndrome is a rare autosomal developmental disorder caused by pathogenic variants of the ANKRD11 gene. This scoping review aimed to explore all current literature data regarding clinical and electroencephalographic features of patients with KBG syndrome and epilepsy. Materials and Methods We conducted a literature

From brain to spinal cord: neuromodulation by direct current stimulation and its promising effects as a treatment option for restless legs syndrome

Frontiers in Neurology
Neuromodulation is a fast-growing field of mostly non-invasive therapies, which includes spinal cord stimulation (SCS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), vagal nerve stimulation (VNS), peripheral nerve stimulation, transcranial magnetic ...

Do the psychological effects of vagus nerve stimulation partially mediate vagal pain modulation?

Neurobiology of Pain, 2017
There is preclinical and clinical evidence that vagus nerve stimulation modulates both pain and mood state. Mechanistic studies show brainstem circuitry involved in pain modulation by vagus nerve stimulation, but little is known about possible indirect ...

Artificial intelligence for adaptive neuromodulation in drug‐resistant epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) affects nearly one third of people with epilepsy and is associated with substantial cognitive, psychiatric, and mortality burdens. For patients who are not candidates for resection or laser interstitial thermal therapy, neuromodulation therapies such as vagus nerve stimulation, deep brain stimulation, and ...
