Vagus Nerve Stimulation Electrode Impedance Over Time in Children With Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome.

Objective: This manuscript describes the behavior of impedance of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) electrode over time in a cohort of children with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.

Materials And Methods: Nineteen consecutive pediatric patients with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome submitted to VNS were studied. All patients had at least four years of follow-up.

Combined Neuromodulation (Vagus Nerve Stimulation and Deep Brain Stimulation) in Patients With Refractory Generalized Epilepsy: An Observational Study.

Introduction: This article describes our findings while treating patients with refractory generalized epilepsy with combined vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) and centro-median deep brain stimulation (CMDBS).

Materials And Methods: A total of 11 consecutive patients with refractory generalized epilepsy (ten with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome) previously submitted to VNS and who subsequently underwent CMDBS were retrospectively studied. The VNS final parameters were 2 to 2.
