Open Access Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2017 BACKGROUND: The vagus nerve stimulation (vns) is an approach mainly used in cases of intractable epilepsy despite all the efforts. Also, its benefits have been shown in severe cases of depression resistant to typical treatment.AIM: The aim of this study was to present current knowledge of vagus nerve stimulation.MATERIAL AND METHODS: A new value has ...

Forced normalization after turning off vagus nerve stimulation in Lennox–Gastaut syndrome
Epilepsy and Behavior Case Reports, 2019 Forced normalization is the development of psychiatric symptoms in a patient experiencing remission of seizures. We present a case of Lennox Gastaut syndrome in which forced normalization developed after vagus nerve stimulation was stopped.The patient ...

Neurosurgical Focus, 2009 Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a key tool in the treatment of patients with medically refractory epilepsy. Although the mechanism of action of VNS remains poorly understood, this modality is now the most widely used nonpharmacological treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy.

Noninvasive vagus nerve stimulation alters neural response and physiological autonomic tone to noxious thermal challenge. [PDF]
, 2019 The mechanisms by which noninvasive vagal nerve stimulation (nVNS) affect central and peripheral neural circuits that subserve pain and autonomic physiology are not clear, and thus remain an area of intense investigation.

Do the psychological effects of vagus nerve stimulation partially mediate vagal pain modulation?
Neurobiology of Pain, 2017 There is preclinical and clinical evidence that vagus nerve stimulation modulates both pain and mood state. Mechanistic studies show brainstem circuitry involved in pain modulation by vagus nerve stimulation, but little is known about possible indirect ...
