, 2011 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 ...

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 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

The chemical neuroanatomy of vagus nerve stimulation
Journal of Chemical Neuroanatomy, 2011In this short overview a reappraisal of the anatomical connections of vagal afferents is reported. The manuscript moves from classic neuroanatomy to review details of vagus nerve anatomy which are now becoming more and more relevant for clinical outcomes (i.e. the therapeutic use of vagus nerve stimulation).

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).

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.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation in the Developmentally Disabled
Epilepsy & Behavior, 2001Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) with the neuro cybernetic prosthesis (NCP) is an approved treatment of partial seizures for patients 12 years and older. Developmentally disabled or mentally retarded patients with epilepsy may also benefit from VNS; however, their evaluation and management pose greater problems.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Severe Depression
Journal of Psychosocial Nursing and Mental Health Services, 2007Treatment-resistant depression is a serious problem with significant costs in terms of health care dollars and patients’ well-being. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is one novel, device-based therapy that may be effective in this population. In this article, we review the evidence to date on the use of VNS in major depression and describe the ...

The effect of vagus nerve stimulation on migraines
The Journal of Pain, 2003Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) inhibits nociceptive behavior in animals. VNS might reduce pain in patients with VNS device implanted for intractable seizures. One case report described possible benefits on migraines. We contacted all patients who received VNS therapy for intractable epilepsy between 1993 and 1999 at Southern Illinois University ...
