MeSH headings : Animals; Cross-Over Studies; Dog Diseases / therapy; Dogs; Electric Stimulation Therapy / adverse effects; Electric Stimulation Therapy / methods; Electric Stimulation Therapy / veterinary; Epilepsy / therapy; Epilepsy / veterinary; Female; Male; Pacemaker, Artificial / veterinary; Safety; Seizures / prevention & control; Seizures / veterinary; Treatment Outcome; Vagus Nerve / physiopathology
topics (OpenAlex): Vagus Nerve Stimulation Research; EEG and Brain-Computer Interfaces; Neuroscience and Neural Engineering
TL;DR: Vagal nerve stimulation is a potentially safe approach to seizure control that appears to be efficacious in certain dogs and should be considered a possible treatment option when antiepileptic medications are ineffective. (via Semantic Scholar)
