Inspiring Insights from Prof. Dr. Halil Özcan on Vagus Nerve Stimulation🌟 It's been two months since our enlightening conversation with Prof. Dr. Halil Özcan, Head of the Department of Psychiatry at Atatürk University in Erzurum, Turkey. Prof. Özcan has been at the forefront of numerous successful treatments with our tVNS ® Vagus Nerve Stimulation Device since 2021. During our discussion, Prof. Özcan shared invaluable experiences and insights into vagal nerve stimulation and its diverse applications across various indications. He recounted remarkable stories of recovery, notably highlighting exceptional improvements in coma patients after receiving treatment. With over two decades of research in clinical studies worldwide, Prof. Özcan's pioneering work has paved the way for the use of vagus nerve stimulation in treating conditions such as depression, anxiety disorders, and sleep problems, yielding positive outcomes at Neuromodulation centers. His positive experiences with chronic migraine and tinnitus patients offer hope for millions facing similar challenges, showcasing the potential of vagal nerve stimulation to revolutionize healthcare as a low side-effect option for various conditions. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Prof. Dr. Halil Özcan and Atatürk University for their invaluable contributions to advancing science and restoring countless patients to a new lease on life. We eagerly anticipate future collaborations and groundbreaking studies.

Dr. Barış Ekici, Assistant Professor and Pediatric Neurologist, shares his insights and expertise on transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) treatment. Vagus nerve stimulation is a technique that stimulates the vagus nerve. It has been approved as a treatment for epilepsy since 1997 and for treatment-resistant depression since 2005. Vagus nerve stimulation creates a pulse that travels from the brainstem to the higher centers in the brain, carrying an electrical signal from the brainstem to the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex. Initially, devices implanted via surgery on the vagus nerve were used. The human ear contains a vast network of nerve stimulations. In particular, branches of the vagus nerve intensively travel to the brain in the concha, the hollow part of the ear. Using this device, we send some repeated stimulations at microampere levels and microsecond intervals to the ear, transmitting a signal from the brainstem to the brain. Vagus nerve stimulation affects the chemicals in the brain and activates the GABAergic system, which we know functions poorly in children with autism. Studies have shown that after vagus nerve stimulation, levels of GABAergic metabolites increase, while glutamate decreases in the cerebrospinal fluid. It also stimulates and regulates serotonergic and noradrenergic systems. Additionally, it calms the brain and reduces neuroinflammation. With vagus nerve stimulation, we expect children with autism to be calmer, more focused, with improved sleep quality, reduced obsessions, and increased speech ability. Our patients' feedback aligns with these expectations. Thanks to modern devices, we now have the opportunity to apply this method to children through the ear, and we have started to see positive effects after one month of stimulation. The good aspect is that, after planning the stimulation according to the child's electroencephalogram (EEG), the family can apply this method at home on their own. We do not observe many side effects. Mild side effects such as ear redness and occasional headaches have been reported. So far, our patients are satisfied with vagus nerve stimulation. Overall, we receive feedback from parents that their child has become calmer, more focused, and has increased speech ability. When activities increase in children with autism, you lose the ability to perform. Therefore, I believe that vagus nerve stimulation, which works from the brainstem to the brain and helps the child find their balance in a calming way, is very suitable for children with autism.

"tVNS therapy in Comatose Patients"  has been a focus research area in recent years in collaboration with esteemed scientists from various countries. The Coma Symposium brought together notable experts, including Prof. Dr. Halil Özcan, Head of the Psychiatry Department at Erzurum Atatürk University, Prof. Dr. Arshad Majid, Head of Neuroscience and Cerebrovascular Neurology at the University of Sheffield, UK, Prof. Armin Bolz, the scientist who has been developing of the patented tVNS technology from Germany, and Selin Erdoğan Gezen, Global Clinical Director at tVNS Health Gmbh. The symposium hosted the discussions on the use of tVNS in comatose patients, sharing clinical experiences, and exploring the future of this therapy. The meeting was held on November 14-15th, under the organization of the Akogo Foundation, committed to providing care at the highest international standards, employing advanced diagnostic tools and neurorehabilitation techniques, in two dedicated "Alarm Clock" Clinics, the first rehabilitation centers for children and adults, in Poland. The event was a highly productive scientific meeting where the use of tVNS in comatose patients across different countries was discussed, patient grou ps who has the potential to benefit from the therapy were identified, and future scientific collaborations and studies were initiated. Sessions also featured case reports from Turkey by esteemed doctors Assoc. Prof. Dr. Burcu Polat and Prof. Dr. Ercan Gürses , highlighting treatments applied to hypoxic patients. These sessions provided inspiration for future treatment protocols. In the coming days, we look forward to sharing the results of a clinical study on the application of tVNS therapy, with the hope that it will inspire and bring new possibilities. We remain committed to offering hope to patients considered untreatable through non-invasive, scientifically supported therapies. Our deepest gratitude goes to our esteemed doctors and scientists for their invaluable contributions to these efforts. A special thank you to Fundacja Ewy Błaszczyk Akogo? for hosting this impactful event and fostering collaboration to advance pediatric care. Together, we’re working towards brighter possibilities.
