The results of a pilot study presented today at the Annual European Congress of Rheumatology (EULAR 2019) suggest that electro stimulation of one of the nerves connecting the brain to the body (the vagus nerve), could provide a novel treatment approach for patients with rheumatoid arthritis. "...
A vagus nerve stimulator was implanted in the period April 1999–October 2001. Follow-up ranges from 2 to 6 years (mean 4 years). Efficacy was measured as the percentage change in seizure rate during 1 year and then after each year follow-up of VNS compared to 5 months baseline before ...

Until now, the vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) treatment in epilepsy has consisted of two different modes: normal and magnet stimulation. A new vagus nerve stimulator model (106 AspireSR, LivaNova, Houston, TX, USA) also allows automatic stimulation (AutoStim). The purpose of this study is to...
vagus nerve4,5,6. In humans, branches of the vagus nerve traverse the neck and ear and project to the brain where it modulates the LC-NE via the nucleus tractus solitarius pathway6,7,8,9. Transcutaneous stimulation of these vagal branches is tolerated and safe10. In this study, we ...
Having a vagus nerve stimulator put into the body is safe for most people. But it does have some risks. These come both from the surgery to implant the device and from the brain stimulation. Surgery risks Surgical complications with implanted vagus nerve stimulation are rare. They're like the...
Overall, these results suggest that VNS therapy does not promote recovery of forelimb motor or somatosensory function after radial nerve injury. Discussion In this study, we examined the effectiveness of VNS therapy on motor and somatosensory recovery in a model of nerve injury that produces ...
