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.

In a recent paper (Nei et al. 2006), vagus nerve stimulation was assessed in terms of efficacy and safety as compared to corpus callosotomy. Results showed that although corpus callosotomy was more effective for generalized tonic clonic seizures and for atonic seizures, the risks and complications excelled those of vagus nerve stimulation by a ...

Die Vagus-Nerv-Stimulation (VNS) stellt bei Patienten mit medikamentos therapierefraktarem Anfallsleiden und bei Patienten, die fur einen epilepsiechirurgischen Eingriff nicht in Frage kommen bzw. bei denen eine Operation keinen Erfolg erbrachte, eine mogliche therapeutische Option dar (Tabelle 18.1) (Fisher und Handforth 1999; Schmidt et al. 1999).
