Effect of vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) on anxiety and sleep disturbances among elderly health care workers in post Covid19 pandemic
CONCLUSION: The findings suggest that taVNS may be an effective intervention for addressing anxiety and sleep issues in geriatric medical professionals. These results contribute to the exploration of non-invasive strategies to enhance the well-being of healthcare professionals working in demanding environments.PMID:38143418 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-231362 (Source: Work)

The gut-brain axis in Parkinson's disease
Rev Neurol (Paris). 2023 Dec 20:S0035-3787(23)01149-9. doi: 10.1016/j.neurol.2023.11.004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere is a bi-directional communication between the gut, including the microbiota, and the brain through the autonomic nervous system. Accumulating evidence has suggested a bidirectional link between gastrointestinal inflammation and neurodegeneration, in accordance with the concept of the gut-rain axis. An abnormal microbiota-gut-brain interaction contributes to the pathogeny of Parkinson's disease. This supports the hypothesis that Parkinson's disease originates in the gut to spread to the central nervo...

Favorable combinations of antiseizure medication with vagus nerve stimulation to improve health-related quality of life in patients with epilepsy
CONCLUSION: The results of our study suggests a favorable effect of the combination of SV2A modulators or slow sodium channel inhibitors with VNS on the HrQoL in comparison to other ASMs. Besides the possible synergistic effects on the seizure frequency, the amelioration of behavioral side effects of SV2A modulators by VNS is an important factor of HrQoL-improvement in these combinations.PMID:38071825 | DOI:10.1016/j.yebeh.2023.109562 (Source: Epilepsy and Behaviour)

No consistent evidence for the anti-inflammatory effect of vagus nerve stimulation in humans: A systematic review and meta-analysis
In conclusion, while numeric effects were reported in individual studies, the current evidence does not substantiate the claim that VNS impacts inflammatory cytokines in humans. However, it may be beneficial during acute inflammatory events. To assess its full potential, high-quality studies and technological advances are required.PMID:38070618 | DOI:10.1016/j.bbi.2023.12.008 (Source: Brain, Behavior, and Immunity)

Safety & Feasibility of Responsive Neurostimulation in Children with Refractory Epilepsy: A Single-Center Experience
Responsive Neurostimulation (RNS) is a relatively recent addition to the epilepsy surgery armory, gaining FDA approval in 2013 for use in adults with intractable focal epilepsy [1]. There have been at least 9 years of data evaluating the safety and efficacy in adult patients [2]. RNS is not yet approved for use in Europe, or for pediatric patients less than 18 years of age in the United States. Options of neurostimulation include vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), responsive neurostimulation, deep brain stimulation (DBS), chronic subthreshold cortical stimulation (CSCS), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial...
