This advanced procedure involves implanting a small pulse generator beneath the patientโs skin to deliver regular electrical impulses to the brain, helping to control seizures.
While epilepsy is a lifelong condition, VNS therapy offers new hope โ 45โ65% of patients experience a 50% or more reduction in seizures, with long-term improvement reaching up to 70โ75% after 5โ10 years.
With this latest VNS therapy, remote programming is now possible, allowing doctors to adjust device settings without physical visits via secure internet and Bluetooth connectivity. This enables more continuous and convenient care across long distances. This milestone reflects a meaningful step forward in advancing neurological care and strengthening our commitment to improving patientsโ quality of life.
