EFFICACY OF VAGAL NERVE STIMULATION IN IRAQI PATIENTS WITH REFRACTORY EPILEPSY: TWO-YEAR EXPERIENCE

The Iraqi Journal of Medical Sciences, 2016
Background:Refractory epilepsy patients who fail to respond to two antiepileptic drugs used appropriately are likely to have medically refractory seizure disorder and should be investigated for alternative forms of treatments like experimental drug trial,

Circadian stage-dependent and stimulation duration effects of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation on heart rate variability.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) can improve autonomic nerve function and is currently undergoing extensive clinical research; however, its efficacy heterogeneity has caused great controversy.

Noninvasive vagus nerve stimulation alters neural response and physiological autonomic tone to noxious thermal challenge. [PDF]

, 2019
The mechanisms by which noninvasive vagal nerve stimulation (nVNS) affect central and peripheral neural circuits that subserve pain and autonomic physiology are not clear, and thus remain an area of intense investigation.

Automated tracing of myelinated axons and detection of the nodes of Ranvier in serial images of peripheral nerves [PDF]

, 2015
The development of realistic neuroanatomical models of peripheral nerves for simulation purposes requires the reconstruction of the morphology of the myelinated fibres in the nerve, including their nodes of Ranvier.

Stress and Tinnitus; Transcutaneous Auricular Vagal Nerve Stimulation Attenuates Tinnitus-Triggered Stress Reaction

Frontiers in Psychology, 2020
Introduction Tinnitus can become a strong stressor for some individuals, leading to imbalance of the autonomous nervous system with reduction of parasympathetic activity. It can manifest itself as sleep disturbances, anxiety and even depression.
