Vagal nerve stimulation—the Norwegian experience
The purpose of this open retrospective study was to analyze the efficacy and tolerability of vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) in a Norwegian cohort of referral patients with refractory epileptic seizures. A total of 47 patients have been assessed after a mean follow-up time of 2.7 years. Mean age was 34.4 years, mean duration of epilepsy was 25.3 years. Forty-two patients (89%) had localization-re...
متن کاملVagal nerve stimulation in heart failure.
It has been estimated that the prevalence of heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction exceeds 20 million patients worldwide— about 2% of the general population in the Western world—and that the annual incidence is . 2 million patients per year. The mortality of heart failure exceeds that of many malignancies. Significant healthcare improvements have been made with regard to pharmaceutical...
متن کاملHeart period variability during vagal nerve stimulation
Vagal nerve stimulation is an emerging therapy for epilepsy, yet little is known regarding the effects of this stimulation on heart period variability. We selected 10 patients (two female, eight male) who were receiving high-frequency, high-intensity left vagal nerve stimulation for intractable epilepsy. Electrocardiogram data were recorded for a 7 min baseline, 2.5 min of stimulation and a 7 m...
متن کاملVagal Nerve Stimulation: A Case Report, AANA Journal, April 2010
www.aana.com/aanajournalonline.aspx Despite numerous medications designed to eliminate or decrease seizures, an estimated 20% of epileptic patients in the United States remain refractory to these agents. Vagal nerve stimulation can decrease the number of seizure episodes. In 1997, the US Food and Drug Administration approved the first implantable stimulation device for the treatment of medicall...
متن کاملVagal nerve stimulation for refractory epilepsy: a brief review
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an effective adjunctive treatment for patients with drugresistance epilepsy. Short and long-term VNS studies demonstrate a seizure-suppressing effect, with a more efficacy in long-term treatment. Precise mechanisms of VNS in attenuating seizure are not fully understood. Clarification of VNS mechanisms of action may improve its clinical efficacy, as it may provid...
