About This Item

VNS (VagusNervStimulering) är en alternativ behandling mot neurologiska och vissa psykologiska sjukdomar där man sätter en liten dosa under nyckelbenet och drar trådar till den delen av vagusnerven som sitter i halsen. Impulserna färdas längs nerven till vissa delar av hjärnan. Den lilla dosan sänder elektriska impulser genom nerven vilket motverkar de oregelbundenheter i signalerna som kan orsaka bland annat epileptiska anfall.

Team Bioniczz hade denna apparat, som är 5 cm i diameter och ungefär 7 mm tjock inopererad, med tidsbestämda stimuleringar på 30 sekunder, var 5:e minut. Där satt den i ungefär 10 år, varav stimuleringarna pågick under sex av dem. Nu har stimulatorn ersatts av en ny, modern, med autofunktion som gör att den aktiverar sig vid behov baserat på plötsliga förändringar i puls och neurologisk aktivitet.
 


VNS (VagusNervStimulation) is an alternative treatment for neurological and certain Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a medical treatment that involves delivering electrical impulses to the vagus nerve. It is used as an add-on treatment for certain types of intractable epilepsy and treatment-resistant depression. Frequent side effects include coughing and shortness of breath.

Team Bioniczz had this device implanted, sized 5 cm in diameter and approximately 7 mm thick. Stimulations was scheduled to be activated 30 seconds, every 5 minutes. It remained implanted for about 10 years, with stimulations active during 6 of them. The stimulator has since then been replaced with a new, modern one with autofunction that activates the stimulations based on sudden changes in heart rate and neurological activity.
