tVNS, non-surgical treatment option for epilepsy. The most up-to-date health information about epilepsy causes, symptoms, treatment options Less seizures - more from life. Treat drug-resistant epilepsy wit h tVNS® Epilepsy An epileptic seizure is a clinical condition that occurs when the normal activity of the brain is disrupted by the temporary abnormal electrical acti vity in the nerve cells. Epilepsy is the recurrence of epileptic seizures and is considered a chronic disease. While anticonvulsants are commonly prescribed, many epileptic patients are resist ant to drug therapy. Treatment Options for Drug Resistant Epilepsy Epilepsy Surgery There are two methods of neurosurgery: removal of the brain region that causes seizures and surgical cutting of the neural pathways that cause seizures to spread. However, since these methods are only suitable for focal epilepsies, only a small proportion of epilepsy patients are suitable for this invasive procedure. In deep brain stimulation, electrodes are implanted in the brain. These electrodes are attached to a battery operated stimulator that is usually placed under the patient’s collarbone. Epileptic activity can be specifically affected at the baseline through current stimuli. Deep Brain Stimulation Invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation In some patients, a treatment called “vagus nerve stimulation”, also known as brain pacemaker surgery, can be applied. With a surgical intervention, a battery is placed under the chest and an electrode wire is placed in the vagus nerve in the neck. With the help of the electrode, the vagus nerve is stimulated at regular intervals, which may reduce seizures. Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation The tVNS® auricular vagus nerve stimulation device is a treatment option that provides vagus nerve stimulation through the ear with a smartphone-sized device and a special headset without any surgical intervention. From there, as with invasive vagus nerve stimulation, higher centers of the brain are activated, triggering an anticonvulsant effect. How does tVNS® treat epilepsy? In transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation, mild electrical impulses are given to the cymba concha region in the outer auricle through a special ear electrode. These stimuli activate the vagus nerve, which passes directly under the skin in this region (auricular branch of the vagus nerve). The nerve first transmits these impuleses to the Nucleus Tractus Solitarius in the brain stem and are transmitted to many different regions of the diencephalon (midbrain) and cerebrum. These stimuli are also transmitted to the Norepinephrine (Noradrenaline) center, the Locus Coeruleus, and Serotonin center, the Dorsal Raphe nucleus. These transmitters affect one’s clarity, energy, and confidence. These 2 centers send these neurotransmitters to the entire brain, specifically to the parts that control thinking and feeling. more serotonin and norepinephrine are then sent to the Prefrontal Cortex and are inhibited in the Hippocampus and Anterior Thalamus regions, which reduces anxiety and panic. This mechanism causes the frequency or severity of seizures to be reduced or stopped entirely. tVNS has helped hundreds of patients suffering from epilepsy to reduce or completely eliminate their seizures and lead a more self-determined life, without the need for surgery. “It’s wonderful that with tVNS® I have found a therapy option that makes me feel better without needing surgery.” Katja S. from Munich

tVNS non-surgical, drug-free treatment with low side effects. The most up-to-date health information on the causes, symptoms, and treatment options of depression. Gain more freedom and self-determination. Treat depression with tVNS®. Depression Depression is a mood disorder that negatively affects the way one thinks and feels, interfering with one’s daily activities. It is characterized by a p ersistent feeling of sadness and hopelessness along with a loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyed. Treatment Options for Depression Medication There are different types of medications that can be used to treat depression including serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs), tricyclic and tetracyclic antidepressants, and many others. The doctor or pharmacist will inform patients about the possible mild or severe side effects of these drugs upon prescription, which will be followed by close monitoring for the first few weeks after starting the medication. Psychotherapy Psychotherapy is a general term for continuing treatment of depression which entails talking to a mental health professional about one’s condition and related issues. Psychotherapy is also known as talk therapy or psychological therapy. Different types of psychotherapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or trauma therapy, can be effective for depression depending on the patient. Hospital Treatment Some cases of severe depression requir e in-patient hospital stays. This may be necessary when the individual is unable to properly care for themselves and is in danger of harming themselves or others. Psychiatric treatment in a hospital can help an individual stay calm and safe until their mood improves. Partial hospital or day treatment programs may also help some individuals. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) In EC T, electrical currents are passed through the brain to impact the function and effect of neurotransmitters in your brain to relieve depression. ECT is usually used for people who don’t get better with medications, can’t take antidepressants for health reasons, or are at high risk of suicide. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) TMS may be an option for those who haven’t responded to antidepressants. During TMS, a treatment coil, placed against your scalp, sends brief magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in your brain that are involved in mood regulation and depression. Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS) The tVNS® auricular vagus stimulation device is a treatment option that provides vagus nerve stimulation through the ear. The increase in parasympathetic activity from the stimulation provides relaxation and a calming effect. The increased release of serotonin provides a positive change in mood and the increased sleep quality leads to an improvement in the overall quality of life. Significant decreases in Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, increase in Resting State Functional Connectivity and decrease in Beck Depression Inventory can be observed. tVNS® has very low side effects compared to drug options. tVNS® has helped many patients suffering from depression to reduce or completely eliminate their symptoms and lead a more self-determined and free life.
