Vagus Nerve Stimulation

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

Vagus Nerve and Vagus Nerve Stimulation, a Comprehensive Review: Part III

Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, 2015
Vagus 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 stimulation therapy

Drugs of Today, 2004
Until recently, antiepileptic drugs and traditional epilepsy surgery were the two primary treatment options available to patients with epilepsy. Drug therapy, however, does not always control seizures and can be associated with negative side effects. Additionally, only a minority of patients are candidates for epilepsy surgery. Vagus nerve stimulation (

Human Vagus Nerve Electrophysiology

Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2001
The authors studied human vagus nerve electrophysiology intraoperatively on 21 patients (age range: 4 to 31 years) during implantation of a vagus nerve stimulator for seizure control. The study was performed with direct electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve with various stimulation parameters resembling those employed by the Cyberonics ...

Vagus nerve (X)

1995
The vagus nerve (X) consists of autonomic, sensory and motor fibers. It emerges by six to eight roots which leave the neuraxis via the posterior lateral sulcus of the medulla oblongata (Fig. 10.1; 10.2).

Vagus Nerve Stimulation

Journal of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis, 2018
Treatments for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis have progressed at a rapid rate over the past 20 years, but treating patients with recalcitrant disease still remains a difficult task. Current therapies for these diseases involve topical agents, phototherapy, and systemic immunosuppression.
