Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a type of neuromodulation, which is a treatment that alters the activity of nerves. Vagus nerve stimulation involves implanting a device that sends regular, mild pulses of electrical energy to the brainstem through the Vagus nerve in the neck. After reaching the brainstem, the electrical charge is discharged to different areas of the brain to change the way brain cells work. The Vagus nerve is one of 12 pairs of cranial nerves that send electrical signals between the brain and different parts of the neck, head, and torso. They control many of the body's functions.
About one-third of adolescents with epilepsy don't fully respond to anti-seizure drugs. Vagus nerve stimulation may be an option to reduce the frequency of seizures in people who haven't achieved control with medications.
