Vagus Nerve Stimulation
In vagus nerve stimulation, a device is used to stimulate the vagus nerve and improve symptoms of seizures. A doctor will implant this device under the skin in the chest. While it is an effective treatment, certain side effects may happen. These include trouble breathing, coughing, or a hoarse voice. Two other neurostimulation devices can also help, including:
– Deep brain stimulation involves the implanting of a stimulator under chest skin and an electrode in the brain.
– Responsive neuro stimulation involves the implanting of an electric generator in the skull. [7]
