Generator replacement in epilepsy patients treated with vagus nerve stimulation
PURPOSE In epilepsy patients treated with vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), the occurrence of end of battery life (EOBL), when the generator will no longer deliver any stimulation, was investigated with regard to seizure control. EOBL is preceeded by end of effective stimulation (EOES) when irregular stimulation may occur. METHODS In 14/78 patients, treated with VNS at Ghent University Hospital,...

متن کاملVagus nerve stimulation therapy
Over the past 5 years, and especially within the last year, there has been a rapid expansion of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS)-related preclinical research, as well as clinical studies in indications other than epilepsy. The research advances in understanding VNS are occurring in the midst of a blossoming of other forms of therapeutic brain stimulation, such as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), t...
متن کاملVagus Nerve Stimulation.
The vagus nerve is a major component of the autonomic nervous system, has an important role in the regulation of metabolic homeostasis, and plays a key role in the neuroendocrine-immune axis to maintain homeostasis through its afferent and efferent pathways. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) refers to any technique that stimulates the vagus nerve, including manual or electrical stimulation. Left ce...
