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.

Neural Stimulation Hardware for the Selective Intrafascicular Modulation of the Vagus Nerve
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2023 The neural stimulation of the vagus nerve is able to modulate various functions of the parasympathetic response in different organs. The stimulation of the vagus nerve is a promising approach to treating inflammatory diseases, obesity, diabetes, heart ...

Vagus nerve stimulation in intractable epilepsy [PDF]
Turkish Neurosurgery, 2021 To investigate and compare the efficacy and safety of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) therapy in different types of epilepsy.Patients, who were implanted with VNS between the years 2005 and 2020, were retrospectively included in the study. Age, gender, age at seizure onset, epilepsy types, VNS implantation year, replacement year, pre and post-VNS seizure

Vagus nerve stimulation and inflammation: expanding the scope beyond cytokines
Bioelectronic Medicine, 2022 Approximately 20 years ago it was discovered that the vagus nerve regulates pro-inflammatory cytokine levels and inflammation. Subsequent research using several preclinical models revealed that vagus nerve stimulation evokes a protective decrease in pro ...

Vagus nerve stimulation is a potential treatment for ischemic stroke
Neural Regeneration Research, 2023 Microglia are the brain’s primary innate immune cells, and they are activated and affect pro-inflammatory phenotype or regulatory phenotype after ischemic stroke.
