Scientists listen directly to human vagus nerve to unlock epilepsy treatment secrets

NCT ID NCT06016686

Summary

This study aims to understand exactly how vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) therapy works for epilepsy. Researchers will use a fine needle to record nerve signals in 60 adults with epilepsy who already have a VNS implant. The goal is to see which specific nerve fibers are activated by the device to help guide future improvements in this treatment.
