Suggest Alternative For Vegas Nerve Stimlator
Hi, If the vagus nerve stimulation is not working, then it should be removed. A small surgical procedure is necessary for this. You should start antiepileptics before and after removing the stimulator. Epilepsy surgery also may be an option if the epileptic focus is well located. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Erion Spaho, Neurologist, Surgical
