Ultra-long-term EEG recordings indicate no effect of vagus nerve stimulation on sleep in epilepsy patients
In this small cohort, VNS therapy did not result in consistent changes in sleep parameters at the individual or group level, suggesting that VNS has no significant impact on the assessed sleep parameters in pharmacoresistant epilepsy patients.
