- Abstract
- (en) Dear Editor, Epilepsy affects over 70 million individuals worldwide. For patients who do not respond to antiseizure medications and are not candidates for resective surgery, vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) offers an alternative. VNS can be delivered in a programmed mode or manually with a magnet, but clinical response remains highly variable. One understudied source of this variability may be nerve function and recovery after implantation. Insufficient activation, possibly due to processes such as nerve injury, could limit efficacy. [...]
