Researchers track Real-World impact of Brain-Zapping device for severe epilepsy
NCT ID NCT04779814
Summary
This study aimed to understand how a vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) device affects healthcare use and seizure control in people with severe epilepsy. Researchers looked at the medical records of 97 UK patients to compare hospital visits and seizure frequency for 12 months before and 18 months after they received the implanted device. The goal was to gather real-world data on whether this therapy reduces the burden on patients and the healthcare system.
