Epilepsy needs no introduction, it is the second most common and frequently encountered neurological condition causing heavy burden on patients, families, and even healthcare systems. If it is drug resistant it is even more devastating. Drug Resistant Epilepsy or DRE is a condition where 2 or more epilepsy medication does not work any more on seizures.
VNS (Vagal Nerve Stimulation) is one of the surgical treatment options for DRE- Drug resistant #epilepsy (People who continue to have seizures despite trying two or more #seizure medications). Besides seizures, #DRE is also associated with other comorbid conditions such as #memory loss, increased risk of accidents/injuries, frequent hospitalisations, as well as compromised #lifestyle of patients and their families, including social stigma.
