Retrospective study evaluates vagus nerve stimulation effectiveness and stimulation parameters in pediatric drug-resistant epilepsy.

At 12 months, 76.9% of patients achieved at least 50% seizure reduction with vagus nerve stimulation.
Optimal outcomes occurred with an output current of approximately 1.5 mA and a 10% duty cycle.
This retrospective two-center cohort study analyzed 52 pediatric patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.
Findings highlight the potential for individualized, age-specific stimulation strategies to enhance treatment outcomes.

Baykan et al. (2025) studied this question.
