| Description | We performed a retrospective, multicenter, open-label study to evaluate the efficacy Of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) in all patients in the Czech Republic who have received this treatment for at least 5 years (n = 90). The mean last follow-up was 6.6 +/- 1.1 years (79 +/- 13 months). The median number of seizures among all patients decreased from 41.2 seizures/month in the prestimulation period to 14.9 seizures/month at 5 years follow-up visit. |
