Vagus Nerve Stimulation Reduces Neuroinflammation Through Microglia Polarization Regulation to Improve Functional Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
BackgroundSpinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating disease that lacks effective treatment. Interestingly, recent studies indicated that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), neuromodulation that is widely used in a variety of central nervous system (CNS ...

Acute Vagus Nerve Stimulation Facilitates Short Term Memory and Cognitive Flexibility in Rats

Brain Sciences, 2022
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) causes the release of several neuromodulators, leading to cortical activation and deactivation. The resulting preparatory cortical plasticity can be used to increase learning and memory in both rats and humans.

Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (t-VNS): A novel effective treatment for temper outbursts in adults with Prader-Willi Syndrome indicated by results from a non-blind study

PLoS ONE, 2019
Temper outbursts are a severe problem for people with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS). Previous reports indicate that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) may reduce maladaptive behaviour in neurodevelopmental disorders, including PWS.

Bi-level VNS therapy with different therapy modes at night and daytime improves seizures and quality of life in a patient with drug-resistant epilepsy

Epilepsy & Behavior Reports, 2023
Induction or aggravation of sleep apnea is a known side effect of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS). We report the case of a 44 year old male with drug-resistant epilepsy and depression who did not experience any seizure reduction after 1 year of VNS but a ...

Efficacy of vagus nerve stimulator during transition to adulthood in patients with treatment‐resistant epilepsy

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To evaluate the efficacy of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) as an adjunctive treatment in pediatric patients with treatment‐resistant epilepsy during the transition to adolescence. Methods We performed a retrospective cohort study of 30 children (ages 2–18 years) with medication‐resistant epilepsy who underwent VNS implantation between
