Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of vagus nerve stimulation on respiration during sleep A pilot study
TL;DR: VNS is associated with adverse changes in respiration during sleep and in patients with preexisting OSA, VNS should be administered with care, and lowering stimulus frequency, but not stimulus intensity, pulse width, or on-time, ameliorated VNS-related apneas and hypopneas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vagus nerve stimulation reduces daytime sleepiness in epilepsy patients.
TL;DR: Treatment with VNS at low stimulus intensities improves daytime sleepiness, even in subjects without reductions in seizure frequency, which supports the role of VNS in activating cholinergic and other brain regions that promote alertness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Usefulness of polysomnography in epilepsy patients
TL;DR: The most common polysomnographic diagnosis was OSA, although the also found narcolepsy, insufficient sleep syndrome with possible idiopathic hypersomnolence, and previously unrecognized nocturnal seizures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Vagus Nerve Stimulation on Sleep‐related Breathing in Epilepsy Patients
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of vagus nerve stimulation on sleep-related breathing in a sample of 16 epilepsy patients were described. But none of the patients had a history of obstructive sleep apnea, and all respiratory events were associated with VNS stimulation at low CPAP levels.
Effects of vagus nerve stimulation on sleep-related breathing
TL;DR: The effects of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) on sleep‐related breathing in a sample of 16 epilepsy patients was described.
