12Vagus Nerve Stimulation
Vagus Nerve Stimulation or VNS involves the sending of constant short electrical impulses to your brain via the vagus nerve located in the neck. These bursts of electrical energy will inhibit seizures and alleviate other symptoms of epilepsy. This can be a good alternative when medications don’t work. You have to go through many sessions, which last anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. However, it can be ineffective for some people. Also, there might be some side effects such as coughing, shortness of breath, hoarse voice, or throat pain. [12]
