A 12‐month pilot study outcomes of vagus nerve stimulation in Crohn's disease
Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 2020The vagus nerve has anti‐inflammatory properties. We aimed to investigate vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) as a new therapeutic strategy targeting an intrinsic anti‐inflammatory pathway in a pilot study in Crohn's disease patients.

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

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

Ghrelin, a gastrointestinal hormone, stimulates feeding and secretion of growth hormone (GH). Ghrelin is thought to directly affect neurons involved in feeding or GH secretion through growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R; ghrelin receptor); however, it is still unclear whether ghrelin crosses through the blood-brain barrier.

Chemodectoma of the Vagus Nerve
Radiology, 1967Chemodectomas are tumors of the chemoreceptive system and occur at all sites where chemoreceptor bodies are found. The author was able to find reports of only 26 cases of chemodectoma originating from the cervical portion of the vagus nerve, and of these only 6 (1–6) gave a detailed description of the radiographic and angiographic findings.

Intrathoracic neurofibroma of the vagus nerve
British Journal of Diseases of the Chest, 1974Abstract A case of neurofibroma of the vagus, presenting as a mediastinal shadow on mass minature radiography, is described. It extended from the neck, through the thorax and into the abdomen. The rarity of this tumour has is emphasized and the relevant literature reviewed.

Objective: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, autoimmune, inflammatory disease. Studies suggest that pro-inflammatory cytokines may be attenuated by the vagus nerve through the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway.

Human Vagus Nerve Electrophysiology
Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2001The 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 ...
