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

Arrhythmias and vagus nerve stimulation

Heart Failure Reviews, 2010
Enhancing 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 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 (

Vagus Nerve Stimulation and Headache

Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, 2015
Neuromodulation 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, 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
