Selective Neuromodulation of the Vagus Nerve [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an effective technique for the treatment of refractory epilepsy and shows potential for the treatment of a range of other serious conditions. However, until now stimulation has generally been supramaximal and non-selective, resulting in a range of side effects.

Schwannoma of the vagus nerve [PDF]
Anaesthesia, 1986 SummaryA case is described in which severe bradycardia complicated removal of a Schwannoma of the vagus nerve in the parapharyngeal space. The presentation of this rare tumour is discussed.

First‐in‐human microelectrode recordings from the vagus nerve during clinical vagus nerve stimulation [PDF]
Epilepsia OpenIntroduction Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an effective treatment for people with drug‐resistant epilepsy. However, its mechanisms of action are poorly understood, including which nerve fibers are activated in humans during VNS in typical clinical ...

Vagus nerve stimulation for refractory epilepsy
Seizure, 2001 Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a neurophysiological treatment for patients with medically or surgically refractory epilepsy. Since the first human implant in 1989, more than 10,000 patients have been treated with VNS. Two randomized controlled studies have shown a statistically significant decrease in seizure frequency during a 12-week treatment ...

Brain Sciences, 2023 Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an effective surgical option for intractable epilepsy. Although the surgical procedure is not so complicated, vagus nerve detection is sometimes difficult due to its anatomical variations, which may lead to surgical ...

Human vagus nerve branching in the cervical region. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 BACKGROUND:Vagus nerve stimulation is increasingly applied to treat epilepsy, psychiatric conditions and potentially chronic heart failure. After implanting vagus nerve electrodes to the cervical vagus nerve, side effects such as voice alterations and ...

Neural Regeneration Research, 2022 Previous studies have shown that vagus nerve stimulation can improve patients’ locomotor function. The stimulation of the auricular vagus nerve, which is the only superficial branch of the vagus nerve, may have similar effects to vagus nerve stimulation.
