VNS Therapy for Pharmacoresistant Epilepsy

 

VNS Therapy Magnets

 

If you do feel you are about to have a seizure you can use the special VNS Therapy Magnet to make the VNS Therapy device send some extra impulses. Some users have found that these may stop or shorten the seizure, or decrease its severity. Some patients also report that it may help you to feel better faster once the seizure is over.
 

It is a good idea for other reliable people around you to know how to use the Magnet as well. They can make the VNS Therapy device send those extra impulses even while the seizure is taking place. The Magnet Power really gives you a new control over your life.
 

You can also use the Magnet to turn the device off. People find this useful when they want to be confident about how their voice will sound, for example when they sing, give a talk in public or have to take an oral examination.
