A real life epilepsy story of Oguzhan: tVNS in Dravet Syndrome and Resistant Epilepsy

Zeliha Korkmaz, the mother of 7-year-old Oğuzhan, who battles resistant epilepsy and was diagnosed with Dravet syndrome at 4.5 months old, recently shared their transformative journey with tVNS. Oğuzhan endured numerous hospitalizations due to refractory seizures, even undergoing a ketogenic diet that eventually proved ineffective. Following his physician's recommendation, Oğuzhan began using tVNS in January 2022. Since then, the positive impact on his life has been remarkable — experiencing extended seizure-free periods, enhanced cognitive abilities, and an overall improved quality of life. At tVNS, we strive to contribute to a better world for human life by evolving treatments to meet the changing needs of our dynamic world.
