Scientists map the Brain's 'Remote Control' during surgery
NCT ID NCT05395026
Summary
This study aimed to better understand how different settings on a Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) device affect the nerve and cause side effects. Researchers measured nerve activity, muscle twitches in the throat, and heart rate changes in 16 adults with epilepsy while they were having their VNS device implanted or replaced. The goal was to gather data to help future doctors program these devices more effectively to maximize benefit and minimize discomfort.
