5 أيامVagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) surgery is an innovative and effective procedure designed to manage neurological and psychiatric disorders by delivering electrical impulses to the vagus nerve. This minimally invasive technique is primarily used to treat epilepsy and treatment-resistant depression, offering hope to patients who do not respond well to conventional therapies.
VNS surgery involves implanting a small, rechargeable battery-powered device under the skin, typically near the collarbone. This device, often referred to as a pulse generator, sends electrical signals to the vagus nerve in the neck, which then transmits these signals to the brain. The electrical stimulation helps regulate brain activity, reducing the frequency and severity of seizures or depressive episodes.
While VNS is most commonly used for epilepsy and depression, it is also being explored as a treatment for conditions such as cluster headaches, migraines, and certain anxiety disorders. The therapy is particularly beneficial for patients who have not achieved satisfactory results with medication or other forms of treatment.

The VNS surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes one to two hours. A small incision is made in the chest to implant the pulse generator, and another incision is made in the neck to attach electrodes to the vagus nerve. These components are connected via a thin wire that runs under the skin. Once implanted, the device is programmed to deliver electrical impulses at specific intervals tailored to the patient’s condition.
Rechargeable VNS devices represent a significant advancement in medical technology. These devices eliminate the need for frequent replacement surgeries associated with traditional non-rechargeable models. They are designed to provide consistent stimulation for extended periods, offering enhanced convenience and cost-effectiveness for patients.
