Reducing VNS stimulation parameters: Is it safe?
Brazilian Neurosurgery, 2022 Introduction Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) is an adjuvant therapy used in the treatment of patients with refractory epilepsy who are not candidates for resective surgery or who have limited results after surgical procedures.

Effect of vagus nerve stimulation against generalized seizure and status epilepticus recurrence
Frontiers in Neurology, 2023 ObjectiveVagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a palliative surgery for drug-resistant epilepsy. The two objectives of this study were to (1) determine the seizure type most responsive to VNS and (2) investigate the preventive effect on status epilepticus (SE)

Timing of vagus nerve stimulation during fear extinction determines efficacy in a rat model of PTSD
Scientific Reports, 2022 Studies have indicated that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) enhances extinction learning in rodent models. Here, we investigated if pairing VNS with the conditioned stimulus is required for the enhancing effects of VNS.
