Non-invasive stimulation of vagal afferents reduces gastric frequency
Brain Stimulation, 2020 Metabolic feedback between the gut and the brain relayed via the vagus nerve contributes to energy homeostasis. We investigated in healthy adults whether non-invasive stimulation of vagal afferents impacts energy homeostasis via efferent effects on ...

Vagal nerve stimulation for epilepsy [PDF]
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 2000 Editor,—It is timely that “Archivist” has taken an interest in vagal nerve stimulation for epilepsy. The comments do not suggest however that Archivist was fully informed. It is true to say that the mechanism by which the effect is achieved is not known, but there is considerable animal evidence that both serotoninergic and noradrenergic pathways from

Intraoperative nerve stimulation during vagal nerve stimulator placement
Surgical Neurology International, 2023 Background:Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) is a palliative treatment for refractory epilepsy and intraoperative nerve stimulation is applied to the vagal and other nerves to prevent electrode misplacement. We evaluated these thresholds to establish intraoperative monitoring procedures for VNS surgery.Methods:Forty-six patients who underwent ...
