This study investigates the performance of a cardiac-based seizure detection algorithm (CBSDA) that automatically triggers VNS (NCT01325623).Thirty-one patients with drug resistant epilepsy were evaluated in an epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) to assess algorithm performance and near-term clinical benefit. Long-term efficacy and safety were evaluated with combined open and closed-loop VNS.Sixty-six...
ObjectiveTo gain insight into the long‐term impact of vagus nerve stimulation (with VNS Therapy) in children with drug‐resistant epilepsy, we conducted the largest retrospective multicenter study to date over an extended follow‐up period of up to 24 months.
MethodsThe primary objective was to assess change in seizure frequency of the predominant seizure type (defined as the most disabling seizure)...
VNS therapy was delivered to patients for the first time in 1988. After 25 years, insight in the antiepileptic and antidepressant mechanism of action of VNS has grown steadily. The effects on cognition and especially memory remain controversial. This review provides an elaborate overview of studies addressing cognition and describes potential underlying mechanisms for the reported effects. Short-term...
