Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulators: a review of past, present, and future devices
This article reviewed the history and classification of taVNS devices.EXPERT OPINION: The correlation between the effectiveness and stimulation parameters from taVNS devices still remains unclear. There is a lack of standard or harmonization among different taVNS devices. Strategies, including further comparative research and establishment of standard, have been recommended in this article to promote the future development of taVNS devices.PMID:34937487 | DOI:10.1080/17434440.2022.2020095

Eyelid Myokymia in an Older Subject After Repetitive Sessions of Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
Non-invasive brain stimulation techniques have developed into useful tools to study brain functions, like motor learning , physiological changes of the brain like during healthy aging or pathological conditions (e.g., stroke, parkinson, tinnitus, among others) . Furthermore they are more and more applied and evaluated as therapeutic tools to treat neuropsychiatric diseases . The evolution of these techniques emphasizes the importance to report possible adverse effects. Here, we present a case with occurrence of monocular eyelid myokymia after repetitive application of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to the motor cortex.

Bilateral carotid artery dissection in a severe preeclamptic setting: An unusual cause of postpartum headache.
Abstract
A 30-year-old woman with severe preeclampsia presented at 27weeks of amenorrhea with left headache, neck pain, blurred vision and numbness of left hemiface that resolved spontaneously within 2hours. A week later, hypertension remained poorly controlled despite combination of nicardipine and labetalol intravenous therapy; an urgent caesarean section was eventually performed due to onset of HELLP syndrome. At day 5 postpartum, the patient had a Horner syndrome with right ipsilateral disabling tinnitus. A CT-angiography of supra-aortic trunks was performed urgently; it showed a bilateral carotid arterial dis...

Association between depression and tinnitus in a nationally representative sample of US older adults.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that individuals who perceive their tinnitus to be a problem or have problems with tinnitus when going to bed may be in need of intervention to prevent or reduce their depression symptoms so as to ensure that other areas of their life are not negatively influenced.

Why acupuncture is giving sceptics the needle
Acupuncture has been prescribed by half of Britain's doctors, but after 3,000 clinical trials its efficacy remains unproven. So is the NHS making a grave error in supporting this ancient treatment?• Are vitamin pills a sham? Q&A with Dr. Paul OffitYou can't get crystal healing on the NHS. The Department of Health doesn't fund faith healing. And most doctors believe magnets are best stuck on fridges, not patients. But ask for a treatment in which an expert examines your tongue, smells your skin and tries to unblock the flow of life force running through your body with needles and the NHS will be happy to oblige.The govern...

MicroTransponder completes $3.4M in funding, gets key patent
Dallas-based MicroTransponder Inc., a privately-held medical device company, has completed a $3.39 million funding round this summer, which will enable the company to accelerate development of its wireless pain platform.
The funding will allow MicroTransponder to complete three additional clinical trials using its neurostimulation system to treat both stroke patients and tinnitus patients, Jordan Curnes, co-founder, president and chief operating officer, told me.
Tinnitus is the medical term for…

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension: clinical features in eight cases
Conclusions
SIH is an under–recognised but fairly common disorder. Clinical examination is usually normal, and confirmation of the diagnosis requires investigations and treatment not used routinely in the management of headache. Investigations, including contrast–enhanced neuroimaging, are often normal in the acute or chronic phase. Clinical history taking skills are therefore paramount in recognising this disorder. Characteristic features include a new daily persistent headache in a cranio–cervical distribution, with often bizarre sounding additional symptoms. Our results challenge the prevailing notions...

45. Patient presenting with transient phosphenes and headache: A case of fibromuscular dysplasia
Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD), is a nonatherosclerotic, noninflammatory vascular disease commonly affecting the renal, extracranial carotid and vertebral arteries (VA). Etiology remains unknown. Clinical presentation is determined by distribution of arteries affected. Carotid artery involvement is associated with headache, TIA, stroke, pulsatile tinnitus, or may be asymptomatic. Treatment is being recommended in symptomatic cases. A 49-year-old Caucasian woman, was presented to our emergency department for transient phosphenes in right eye, followed by front-temporal headache. Cranial CT was normal, cervical duplex ultraso...

Cerebral Varicella Zoster Vasculopathy Sine Herpete: Atypical Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome Presentation in an Immunocompetent Patient (P6.258)
CONCLUSIONS:VZV CNS vasculopathy may present with atypical clinical and CSF characteristics. Patients with suspected CNS vasculitis without pathological confirmation should be tested for this treatable condition, regardless of their immune status.Disclosure: Dr. Gonzalez Otarula has nothing to disclose.

Teaching NeuroImages: Carotid-cavernous fistula caused by fibromuscular dysplasia
A 26-year-old woman developed headache, diplopia, and pulsatile tinnitus in 10 days. Neurologic examination revealed limitation of left eye movement, left dilated pupil with optic disc swelling and mild decreased vision, and a bruit over the left superior orbit. Her family history, laboratory data, and cerebral MRI showed normal findings. Cerebral CT angiography suggested left carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF). Follow-up angiography confirmed left CCF (figure 1). Nevertheless, multiple stenoses interspersed with aneurysmal dilation segments of carotid, vertebral, and renal arteries were found (figure 2). A diagnosis of fibro...

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Clinical Applications: Therapeutics
The number and type of neuropsychiatric conditions being treated by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is ever increasing. In addition, the parameters utilized to treat these conditions are ever evolving. In this chapter, we explore the evidence concerning the efficacy of TMS to treat a number of psychiatric and physiological conditions: including depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, post traumatic stress disorder, chronic pain, tinnitus, stroke, and Parkinson’s disease. In addition, we outline the most commonly utilized protocols and parameters to treat each of the above conditions.
