NCT ID NCT06304389

First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated Jun 02, 2026 · Updated 30 times

Summary

This study looks at whether blue light can help vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) work better for people with epilepsy that doesn't respond to standard treatments. About 34 participants (patients with VNS implants and healthy volunteers) will be exposed to blue light to see if it changes brain activity and other markers. The goal is to find new ways to improve VNS therapy, not to cure epilepsy.
