Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Ischemic Stroke
Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2023Purpose of Review Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has emerged as a potential therapeutic approach for neurological and psychiatric disorders. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in VNS for treating ischemic stroke. This review discusses the

Brain Stimulation, 2022
BACKGROUND There are 9.9 million new cases of dementia in the world every year. Short-term conversion rate from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to dementia is between 20% and 40%, but long-term in 5-10 years ranges from 60% to 100%.

Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation - A brief introduction and overview.
Autonomic Neuroscience: Basic & Clinical, 2022Invasive cervical vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is approved for the treatment of epilepsies, depression, obesity, and for stroke-rehabilitation. The procedure requires surgery, has side-effects, is expensive and not readily available.

Epilepsia, 1998
Summary: Left vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a promising new treatment for epilepsy. In 1997, VNS was approved in the United States as an adjunctive treatment for medically refractory partial‐onset seizures in adults and adolescents. For some patients with partial‐onset seizures, the adverse effects of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are intolerable; for

The Laryngoscope, 1988
AbstractA tumor of the vagus nerve often, is discovered unexpectedly at operation. We report 36 of these rare neoplasms in 35 patients. The majority of the tumors presented as a mass in the upper cervical or parapharyngeal region. Usually the mass was asymptomatic.

Interaction of the Vagus Nerve and Serotonin in the Gut–Brain Axis
International Journal of Molecular SciencesThe gut–brain axis represents an important bidirectional communication network, with the vagus nerve acting as a central conduit for peripheral signals from the various gut organs to the central nervous system.

Structure and Functions of the Vagus Nerve in Mammals
Comprehensive Physiology, 2022We review the structure and function of the vagus nerve, drawing on information obtained in humans and experimental animals. The vagus nerve is the largest and longest cranial nerve, supplying structures in the neck, thorax, and abdomen.

Vagus Nerve and Vagus Nerve Stimulation, a Comprehensive Review: Part III
Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, 2015Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is currently undergoing multiple trials to explore its potential for various clinical disorders. To date, VNS has been approved for the treatment of refractory epilepsy and depression. It exerts antiepileptic or antiepileptogenic effect possibly through neuromodulation of certain monoamine pathways. Beyond epilepsy, VNS is

Vagus Nerve and Gut-Brain Communication
The NeuroscientistThe vagus nerve, as an important component of the gut-brain axis, plays a crucial role in the communication between the gut and brain. It influences food intake, fat metabolism, and emotion by regulating the gut-brain axis, which is closely associated ...
