In addition to medical treatment, some individuals with epilepsy may benefit from neuromodulation approaches such as vagus nerve stimulation (VNS). This is an established, evidence-based treatment used particularly in cases where seizures remain difficult to control.
If you would like to learn more about this approach, please see our page on Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Epilepsy, which provides a detailed overview of how VNS works, when it is used, and how it fits within a broader treatment plan.
