Structural morphometry distinguishes vagus nerve stimulation outcomes in individuals with epilepsy. [PDF]
Epilepsia OpenAbstract Objective Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a commonly used treatment for drug‐resistant epilepsy. However, response to VNS is variable, while understanding of this response variability is limited. The vagus afferent network (VagAN), the neural circuits thought to be involved in response to vagal afferents, has been implicated in response ...

Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation [PDF]
European Neurological Review, 2011 Invasive vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an approved treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy. Besides its recognised clinical efficacy, there are major drawbacks, such as invasiveness and a great many side effects. Therefore there is a medical demand for transcutaneous VNS (t-VNS®), which combines selective, non-invasive access to vagus nerve afferents ...

Vagus nerve stimulation for epilepsy
Rinsho Shinkeigaku, 2011 Vagus nerve stimulation is the first electrical stimulation therapy for epilepsy. While its clinical use was approved by the European Union in 1994 and by the United States in 1997, it was approved last year and coverage by public insurance started last July in Japan.

Vagus nerve stimulation primes platelets and reduces bleeding in hemophilia A male mice
Nature Communications, 2023 Deficiency of coagulation factor VIII in hemophilia A disrupts clotting and prolongs bleeding. While the current mainstay of therapy is infusion of factor VIII concentrates, inhibitor antibodies often render these ineffective.

Selective stimulation of the ferret abdominal vagus nerve with multi-contact nerve cuff electrodes
Scientific Reports, 2021 Dysfunction and diseases of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are a major driver of medical care. The vagus nerve innervates and controls multiple organs of the GI tract and vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) could provide a means for affecting GI function and ...
