Vagal Stimulation for Intractable Seizures
Abstract
At the present time, the conventional management of seizures includes a trial of multiple medications, followed by consideration of surgical ablation of part of the brain. Since seizures are related to paroxysmal depolarization shifts, more specific therapies are possible. These include the use of electrical stimulation to the brain.
