Description of Vagus Nerve Stimulation:

What is Vagus Nerve Stimulation?
Vagus nerve stimulation is a method of epilepsy treatment. It requires a surgical procedure in which a device like a pacemaker is implanted in the body, which generates electric pulses to stimulate the vagus nerve. Vagus nerve stimulation is done to decrease the severity, length, and number of seizures in a patient. In some cases, the frequency of the seizures is also reduced. However, it does not affect some patients and it cannot completely cure epilepsy.

About Vagus Nerve Stimulation

Key facts to plan your treatment: how long it takes, your hospital stay, anaesthesia, risks and recovery.

Duration of surgery/treatment
Approximately 2 hours
Days admitted
Vagus nerve stimulation is done either as an inpatient or an outpatient procedure. As an inpatient, the patient will stay overnight in the hospital.
Anesthesia
General anesthesia
Recovery
- Pain medication may be provided by the doctor if required. - Vagus nerve stimulation is usually successful in reducing 50% of the seizures. - The settings of the stimulator are adjustable and follow-up visits may be scheduled to adjust it to the accurate settings. - The patient will be taught how to use the magnet to increase stimulation temporarily. - When the battery of the vagus nerve stimulator runs out after many years, the implant will be replaced in an outpatient procedure.
Risks
The risks of the surgery include: - Injury to the surrounding blood vessels, e.g. carotid artery and jugular vein - Infection - Bleeding - Allergy to anesthesia The side effects associated with vagus nerve stimulation are mild and temporary. They include: - Hoarseness - Coughing - Discomfort in the throat - Swallowing difficulty - Tingling sensation in the neck - Headache - Ear pain The settings of the stimulator may be adjusted by the doctor if the side effects persist.
After care
- Patients who have vagus nerve stimulation implants should avoid powerful magnets that may affect the settings of the stimulator. - If patients are required to do Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), they must inform about their vagus nerve stimulation implant. If the doctor allows the MRI to be performed on patients with stimulator implants, the stimulator needs to be switched off prior to the scan. - Patients should avoid areas which have warning sign posts for pacemakers. - The doctor’s instructions on safety precautions should be followed carefully.
