EEG Reactivity Predicts Individual Efficacy of Vagal Nerve Stimulation in Intractable Epileptics

Background: Chronic vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) is a well-established non-pharmacological treatment option for drug-resistant epilepsy. This study sought to develop a statistical model for prediction of VNS efficacy. We hypothesized that reactivity of the electroencephalogram (EEG) to external sti...
