Dynamic changes in comorbid conditions following vagus nerve stimulation for epilepsy
VNS implantation significantly improved sleep quality, mental health, and overall quality of life in adult patients with epilepsy. Such effects could be observed shortly after the implantation and were mostly long-lasting. Further research is needed to validate its long-term effects.
