Arrhythmias and vagus nerve stimulation
Heart Failure Reviews, 2010Enhancing vagal tone by delivering electrical stimulation to the vagal nerves (VNS) is emerging as a promising novel therapy in heart failure. In addition, VNS is already an FDA-approved therapy for refractory epilepsy and depression. Besides its well-known negative chronotropic, inotropic, and dromotropic effects, VNS has profound effects on cardiac ...

Vagus nerve stimulation in depression
Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy, 2001Ever since the introduction of chemical and electrical convulsive treatment for psychiatric disorders in the 1930s and 1940s, biological techniques have been used extensively in the amelioration of a variety of psychiatric disorders. Techniques of recent vintage have included transcranial magnetic stimulation, deep brain stimulation and vagus nerve ...

Vagus nerve stimulation therapy
Drugs of Today, 2004Until 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 (

Vagus Nerve Stimulation and Headache
Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, 2015Neuromodulation is an emerging area in headache management. Through neurostimulation, multiple brain areas can be modulated to alleviate pain, hence reducing the pharmacological need. In this review, we discuss the recent development of the vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) for headache management.

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 stimulation for epilepsy
Practical Neurology, 2020Refractory epilepsy causes physical, psychological, psychiatric and social morbidities and carries an increased risk of premature mortality. Resective neurosurgery brings the possibility of long-term seizure remission in those with focal epilepsy, but is only suitable in approximately half of the patients who undergo presurgical evaluation,1 either ...

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) therapy is used for halting those seizures of medically refractory epilepsy patients in which therapy by antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) has failed to provide any reasonable comfort. Another disease which can be treated by VNS is chronic or recurrent depression in adult patients that is unmanageable by antidepressant drugs.

The use of neuromodulatory devices for the treatment of neurological disorders provides a non-invasive and non-pharmacologic therapeutic approach for patients. Recent years have seen a significant increase in the development and assessment of the efficacy of these devices to treat primary headache and facial pain disorders.

What is Vagus Nerve Stimulation?
Journal of Psychosocial Nursing and Mental Health Services, 2006<h4>EXCERPT</h4> <p>Pharmacotherapy is not effective for some patients, and there is a need for alternative therapies. In contrast to pharmacological treatments, therapeutic brain stimulation involves the electrical modulation of brain function.

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.
