摘要：
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a relatively new therapeutic approach for intractable epilepsy. Its safety and efficacy have already been documented by randomized clinical studies conducted in Europe and North America. To date, more than 800 vagus nerve stimulators have been implanted throughout the world. We report here our 6 cases of VNS in Chinese epileptic patients and present the results. The indications for this device, and also its associated problems, are also discussed.
