Vagus Nerve Visualization Using Fused Images of 3D-CT Angiography and MRI as Preoperative Evaluation for Vagus Nerve Stimulation

Brain Sciences, 2023
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an effective surgical option for intractable epilepsy. Although the surgical procedure is not so complicated, vagus nerve detection is sometimes difficult due to its anatomical variations, which may lead to surgical ...

Neural networks and the anti-inflammatory effect of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation in depression

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2020
Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is a relatively non-invasive alternative treatment for patients suffering from major depressive disorder (MDD).

The vagus nerve regulates immunometabolic homeostasis in the ovine fetus near term: impact on terminal ileum [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
The contribution of the vagus nerve to inflammation and glucosensing in the fetus is not understood. We hypothesized that vagotomy (Vx) will trigger a rise in systemic glucose levels and this will be enhanced during systemic and organ-specific inflammation. Efferent vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) should reverse this phenotype.

Electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve protects against cerebral ischemic injury through an anti-infammatory mechanism

Neural Regeneration Research, 2015
Vagus nerve stimulation exerts protective effects against ischemic brain injury; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, a rat model of focal cerebral ischemia was established using the occlusion method, and the right vagus ...

Selective Vagus Nerve Stimulation as a Therapeutic Approach for the Treatment of ARDS: A Rationale for Neuro-Immunomodulation in COVID-19 Disease

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is the most severe form of acute lung injury. It is induced by sepsis, aspiration, and pneumonia, including that caused by SARS coronavirus and human influenza viruses.

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.

Sympathetic components in left and right human cervical vagus nerve: implications for vagus nerve stimulation

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2023
Cervical vagus nerve stimulation is in a great variety of clinical situations indicated as a form of treatment. It is textbook knowledge that at the cervical level the vagus nerve contains many different fiber classes. Yet, recently, several reports have

Norwegian population‐based study of long‐term effects, safety, and predictors of response of vagus nerve stimulation treatment in drug‐resistant epilepsy: The NORPulse study

Epilepsia, 2021
This study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) over time, and to determine which patient groups derive the most benefit.

The Present and Future of Vagus Nerve Stimulation [PDF]

Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society, 2019
Epilepsy is one of the major chronic neurological diseases affecting many patients. Resection surgery is the most effective therapy for medically intractable epilepsy, but it is not feasible in all patients. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an adjunctive neuromodulation therapy that was approved in 1997 for the alleviation of seizures; however, efforts
