Research Notes on Vagus Nerve Stimulation


Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an adjunctive treatment for certain types of intractable epilepsy and major depression. VNS uses a stimulator that sends electric impulses to the left vagus nerve in the neck via a lead implanted under the skin. ...more from Wikipedia

Fast Facts:

  • Many patients experience 50% reduction in seizure frequency, and seizures are less severe.1
  • Implanting the VNS battery in a patient and connecting it to the vagus nerve takes about an hour.2
  • Delivers 30-second pulses of electricity to the vagus nerve every five minutes.3
