Long‐term outcomes after NORSE: Treatment with vagus nerve stimulation
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Epilepsia Open"
DOI: 10.1002/epi4.12654
Abstract: New‐onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) is associated with high mortality, therapy‐resistant epilepsy (TRE), and poor cognitive and functional outcomes. Some patients develop multifocal TRE, for whom surgery with a curative intention, is not an option.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.brs.2021.02.012
Abstract: BACKGROUND Modulating brainstem activity, via electrical vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), influences cognitive functions, including memory. However, controlling for changes in stimulus efficacy during chronic studies, and response variability between subjects, is problematic. OBJECTIVE/HYPOTHESIS We hypothesized… read more here.
