Non-Invasive Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation for the Treatment of Fibromyalgia Symptoms: A Study Protocol

Brain Sciences, 2022
Stimulation of the vagus nerve, a parasympathetic nerve that controls the neuro-digestive, vascular, and immune systems, induces pain relief, particularly in clinical conditions such as headache and rheumatoid arthritis.

Subpectoral Implantation of the Vagus Nerve Stimulator

Operative Neurosurgery, 2006
AbstractObjective:To report the technique of subpectoral (SP) implantation of the vagus nerve stimulator (VNS) generator.Methods:We retrospectively reviewed and compared demographics and complications from patients receiving either subcutaneous (SQ; n = 107) or SP (n = 138) VNS implants, performed by one surgeon (WKD) between 1999 and 2003.

Gastrointestinal Issues in CHARGE Syndrome: Prevalence, Patterns, and Constipation‐Related Quality of Life

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are common in CHARGE syndrome, but their frequency and characteristics remain poorly documented due to the complex nature of CHARGE syndrome. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of GI issues in CHARGE syndrome and their impact on quality of life (QoL).

AP2M1 Is a Candidate Gene for Microcephaly and Intellectual Disability in 3q27.1 Deletions

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deletions of the 3q26.33q27.2 region appear to correlate with a distinct phenotype, although there are few reported cases. Here, we present seven previously unreported individuals carrying de novo 3q27 deletions (under 5 Mb), which include the AP2M1 (adaptor‐related protein complex 2, mu‐1 subunit) gene and summarize data from 12 previously ...

Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation-Paired Rehabilitation for Oromotor Feeding Problems in Newborns: An Open-Label Pilot Study

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2020
Neonates born premature or who suffer brain injury at birth often have oral feeding dysfunction and do not meet oral intake requirements needed for discharge. Low oral intake volumes result in extended stays in the hospital (>2 months) and can lead to

First‐in‐human microelectrode recordings from the vagus nerve during clinical vagus nerve stimulation

Epilepsia Open
Introduction Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an effective treatment for people with drug‐resistant epilepsy. However, its mechanisms of action are poorly understood, including which nerve fibers are activated in humans during VNS in typical clinical ...

Vagus Nerve Stimulation and the Cardiovascular System [PDF]

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2019
The vagus nerve plays an important role in maintaining physiological homeostasis, which includes reflex pathways that regulate cardiac function. The link between vagus nerve activity and the high-frequency component of heart rate variability (HRV) has been well established, correlating with vagal tone.
