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 for the Treatment of Autism

There is no curative therapeutic intervention for autism as there is no consensus regarding its pathogenesis. However emerging data suggests that oxidative stress and neuroinf...
متن کاملVagal nerve stimulation: Relationship between outcome and electroclinical seizure pattern
In recent years, vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) has been proposed as a possible way to improve the control of refractory (partial and generalized) seizures. To date, however, there is no complete understanding of the underlying mechanism for this action nor are there any available guidelines or criteria for the selection of those candidates that might be most suitable for this kind of neuromodul...
