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 ...

Vagus nerve stimulation paired with tactile training improved sensory function in a chronic stroke patient [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Recent studies indicate that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) paired with rehabilitation can enhance neural plasticity in the primary sensory and motor cortices, improve forelimb function after stroke in animal models and improve motor function ...

Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Seizures
Archives of Medical Research, 2000 It is agreed that 1% of the general population is afflicted with epilepsy and close to 30% of epilepsy patients are intractable to medications. In spite of a recent increase in the number of new medications that are available on the market, many patients continue to have seizures or their seizures are controlled at the expense of intolerable side ...
