Key result
Vagus nerve stimulation offers a promising therapeutic approach for a broad spectrum of neurological conditions, including epilepsy, depression, stroke, and neurodegenerative diseases.
Why the study?
Although vagus nerve stimulation shows promise across brain disorders, challenges remain in optimizing stimulation parameters, deepening mechanistic understanding, and evaluating expanded applications.

Should not yet expand VNS beyond approved epilepsy and depression uses; leaves open parameter optimization and noninvasive applications.
Does vagus nerve stimulation improve outcomes in patients with neurological disorders?
Vagus nerve stimulation is a promising therapeutic approach for a broad spectrum of neurological conditions, though further research is needed to optimize stimulation parameters and understand its mechanisms.
Zhao et al. (2025) conducted a review in Neurological disorders. Vagus nerve stimulation was evaluated. Vagus nerve stimulation offers a promising therapeutic approach for a broad spectrum of neurological conditions, including epilepsy, depression, stroke, and neurodegenerative diseases.
