When Medicines Are Not Enough

For people with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE), seizures can continue despite appropriate anti-seizure medications. VNS Therapy offers a proven, non-pharmacological treatment option that may help reduce seizure frequency, severity, and the overall impact of epilepsy.

UNDERSTANDING VNS THERAPY

How does VNS Therapy support seizure management?

Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) Therapy works by delivering mild, programmed stimulation to the vagus nerve through an implanted pulse generator. These signals travel to the brain and are used as part of a broader epilepsy management plan under physician supervision.

Explore the overview to understand the implanted device, the cervical vagus nerve pathway, and how VNS Therapy supports long-term treatment planning for eligible patients.

Could VNS Therapy Support Better Seizure Control?

Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) Therapy is an adjunctive treatment option for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. It works by delivering mild, programmed stimulation to the vagus nerve through an implanted device.

At ORCA Healthcare Technologies, we support hospitals and healthcare professionals with product and commercial coordination for VNS Therapy solutions in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry.

CLINICAL PERSPECTIVE

Drug-Resistant Epilepsy vs. VNS Therapy Support

VNS Therapy is an adjunctive treatment option for eligible patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. It delivers mild, programmed stimulation through the vagus nerve and is used as part of a broader epilepsy management plan under specialist supervision.

Drug-Resistant Epilepsy

Ongoing seizures despite appropriate anti-seizure medications.

Drug-Resistant Epilepsy Neural Seizure Activity
VNS Therapy Targeted Vagus Nerve Stimulation Support

VNS Therapy Support

Mild, programmed stimulation through the vagus nerve to help reduce seizure frequency and severity as part of a comprehensive care plan.

TREATMENT APPROACH

Adjunctive support...

VNS Therapy may be considered as an adjunctive treatment option for eligible patients with drug-resistant epilepsy as part of a broader long-term care plan.

Beyond medication alone.

When seizures continue despite appropriate anti-seizure medications, specialist evaluation may be needed to explore advanced treatment options such as VNS Therapy.

VNS Therapy Supports Long-Term Epilepsy Management

LivaNova VNS Therapy systems such as SenTiva™ and AspireSR™ are implantable, programmable pulse generators used by qualified healthcare professionals to deliver mild stimulation through the vagus nerve. Treatment suitability, implantation, and programming are determined by clinicians based on individual patient needs.

VNS THERAPY FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) Therapy is a non-pharmacological adjunctive treatment option for drug-resistant epilepsy. A small programmable pulse generator implanted beneath the skin in the chest sends mild, measured electrical pulses along an insulated lead attached to the left vagus nerve, helping modulate abnormal seizure-related neural activity in the brain.

VNS Therapy may be considered for patients diagnosed with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) whose seizures continue despite appropriate anti-seizure medications. Clinical candidacy and treatment suitability are evaluated individually by a neurologist or epilepsy specialist.

LivaNova VNS Therapy systems such as SenTiva™ and AspireSR™ support three complementary stimulation modes: Normal Mode (continuous scheduled pulses throughout the day), AutoStim Mode (automatic responsive pulses triggered when rapid heart-rate elevations often associated with seizures are detected), and Magnet Mode (on-demand extra pulse delivered when a patient or caregiver swipes a specialized magnet across the chest generator).

Yes. VNS Therapy is established clinically for adjunctive long-term management of drug-resistant epilepsy across eligible adult and pediatric patient populations under specialist neurology supervision.

When used alongside ongoing medical therapy, VNS Therapy is reported to help reduce seizure frequency and severity, shorten seizure recovery times, and reduce the overall burden of drug-resistant epilepsy over long-term specialist care.

ORCA Healthcare Technologies supports neurology teams, hospitals, and surgical centers across Tamil Nadu and Puducherry with product coordination, commercial procurement support, clinical scheduling assistance, and dedicated biomedical follow-up for LivaNova VNS Therapy™ solutions.
