Fast cycle of vagus nerve stimulation is associated with increased sleep‐related breathing disorder in patients with epilepsy
Cycle speed, defined as a short interval between two stimulations, is associated with increased sleep-related respiratory events in patients with epilepsy treated with VNS. Increasing the duration between two stimulations may help clinicians to reduce VNS-induced sleep-related breathing disorder.
