Assessment of Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Epilepsy
Introduction and methodology. Despite a recent surge in availability of new antiepileptic medications and advances in surgical therapy for epilepsy, intractable epilepsy remains a very significant problem. At least 25 to 50% of patients with epilepsy suffer from breakthrough seizures or debilitating side effects of medications. We need a safe and effective treatment for these people, even if it...
متن کاملGenerator 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 کاملThe Effects of Vagus Nerve Stimulation on Neuroinflammation in Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by chronic, unexplainable seizures. Recurring epileptic seizures are associated with long-term structural damage and cognitive deficits, and can even lead to sudden, unexplainable death. Approximately 30% of epilepsy cases are not responsive to medication. Epileptic seizures often induce inflammation in the brain and may increase the frequency o...
متن کامل[Vagus nerve stimulation in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy].
OBJECTIVE To describe the mechanism and first results of vagus nerve stimulation at the Medisch Spectrum Twenty, the Netherlands, for the treatment of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. DESIGN Descriptive retrospective. METHOD Fifteen patients, 8 male and 7 female, aged 18-45 years with drug-resistant epilepsy, who were not eligible for surgical resection of an epileptic focus, received...
متن کاملReassessment: vagus nerve stimulation for epilepsy.
A July 1997 assessment of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Therapeutics and Technology Subcommittee reviewed vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) for epilepsy, and concluded that it was promising, but not yet established. Subsequent to that review, a second multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial has shown safety and efficacy of VNS for treatment of intractable partial seizures. Give...
