Vagus Nerve Stimulator (VNS)
The Vagus Nerve Stimulator (VNS) is a medical therapy that delivers mild electrical pulses to the vagus nerve in the neck. It is used to help manage epilepsy when medications alone do not work, treatment-resistant depression, migraines, cluster headaches, and to support rehabilitation after a stroke.
You may be a candidate for VNS if you experience frequent seizures despite medication, depression that hasn’t improved with therapy, or stroke-related movement difficulties. Our specialists will evaluate your condition and determine whether this treatment is appropriate for you.
During your visit, our team will explain the procedure, what to expect before and after surgery, and the potential benefits and side effects. Most patients notice improvements gradually, with reduced seizure frequency, better mood control, or improved recovery depending on their diagnosis.
Results
Here’s how VNS may help improve outcomes:
Fewer Seizures
Many patients experience reduced seizure frequency and severity over time.
Improved Mood
For those with treatment-resistant depression, mood improvements may emerge gradually, especially when VNS complements other therapies.
