VNS is now the most widely used non-pharmacological treatment modality for the management of drug resistant epilepsy and is the only FDA approved neurostimulation treatment strategy for patients who are not eligible for Epilepsy Surgery .
A vagus nerve stimulator consists of two electrodes embedded in a silastic helix that is wrapped around the cervical vagus nerve . The stimulator is always implanted on the left vagus nerve in order to reduce the likelihood of adverse cardiac effects .
