Will the treatment of depression with vagus nerve stimulator improve my quality of life?
Vagus nerve stimulation has caused some complications. People with other health conditions are more likely to experience certain side effects. The safety of VNS for pregnant women, people prone to problems with the conduction system of their hearts, or people with neurological problems has not been determined. People with VNS should avoid diathermy therapy. This could cause tissue damage that can lead to permanent injury or even death. Diathermy is a medically administered high frequency electrical current used to cut or destroy tissue.
