The Effect of Vagal Nerve Stimulation on Voice
Laryngoscope, 2001AbstractObjective Vagal nerve stimulation therapy through implanted vagal nerve stimulators is an accepted therapy for refractory seizure disorders. One significant side effect of vagal nerve stimulation is voice change. This study evaluates the impact that these voice changes have on patients' lives, and the physiological effects that vagal nerve ...

VAGAL NERVE STIMULATOR POCKET INFECTIONS
The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2004Vagal nerve stimulator pocket infections are uncommon but can cause considerable morbidity. We describe 3 children from our institution and 8 others previously reported with infection after vagal nerve stimulator implantation for seizure control. Infection was suppressed but recurred despite appropriate antimicrobial therapy when the device remained in

Vagal Nerve Stimulation for Status epilepticus
Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2001Refractory generalized convulsive status epilepticus in a 13-year-old boy was halted by left vagal nerve stimulation. Over the next 1.5 years, seizures have continued at a rate and severity which is significantly better than it had been in the year before insertion of the stimulator.

New technique for vagal nerve stimulation
Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 1999The vagus nerve travels in a neurovascular bundle with the carotid artery and internal jugular vein. The present study was designed to assess whether transvascular stimulation through the carotid artery of the dog can be used to directly stimulate the vagus nerve and increase parasympathetic tone.In five anesthetized dogs, a steerable electrode ...
