Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an adjunctive treatment in children with intractable epilepsy. When lead replacement becomes necessary, the old leads are often truncated and retained and new leads are implanted at a newly exposed segment of the nerve. Direct lead removal and replacement are ...
Commonly used vagus nerve stimulator devices consist of an implantable, non-rechargeable battery-powered VNS therapy pulse generator and the VNS therapy lead. There is also an external programming system that is used to change the stimulation setting according to the requirement. They require new batt...

7]. It innervates structures and organs of the throat, thorax and abdomen and is responsible for transmitting sensory information to the brain as well as motor and parasympathetic signals to the body. Through its auricular branch, the vagus nerve also innervate...
Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) has been investigated as a novel neuromodulation tool. Although taVNS is generally considered safe with only mild and transient adverse effects (AEs), those specifically caused by taVNS have not yet been investigated. This systematic review an...
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared the hand-held, noninvasive vagus nerve stimulatorgammaCore(electroCore Inc) for adjunctive use in the prevention of cluster headache in adults, the company announced. The device isalready approvedfor the treatment of episodic cluster headache and...

The pacemaker-like device, called a vagus nerve stimulator, is surgically implanted in the upper chest, and its wires are threaded into the neck, where it stimulates a nerve leading to the brain. It has been approved since 1997 for the treatment of some epilepsy patients, and the drug ...
Vagus nerve stimulator (VNS) is a device that delivers electrical impulses to the vagus nerve as an adjunctive therapy for uncontrolled epilepsy. VNS helps to reduce the frequency and severity of epileptic seizures in some selected patients. VNS is a device that is similar to a pacemaker. The ...
Vagus nerve stimulation Initially approved for drug-resistant epilepsy, VNS relies on an implantable neurostimulator activating cervical vagus fibers via a pulse-delivering electrode [109]. After the promising findings of preclinical research and preliminary human studies [110,111,112], VNS was tested ...
