Nonpharmacological approaches: diet and neurostimulation.

Handbook of clinical neurology

Kossoff EH.
PMID: 23622228
Handb Clin Neurol. 2013;111:803-8. doi: 10.1016/B978-0-444-52891-9.00083-X.

There are many children with intractable epilepsy who do not respond to anticonvulsant medications yet are not candidates for resective epilepsy surgery. For these children and more, nonpharmacologic therapies can be very helpful. The primary therapies include diet and...

Invasive Neuromodulation for the Treatment of Pediatric Epilepsy.

Neurotherapeutics : the journal of the American Society for Experimental NeuroTherapeutics

Hachem LD, Yan H, Ibrahim GM.
PMID: 30378003
Neurotherapeutics. 2019 Jan;16(1):128-133. doi: 10.1007/s13311-018-00685-1.

Neuromodulatory strategies are increasingly adopted for the treatment of intractable epilepsy in children. These encompass a wide range of treatments aimed at externally stimulating neural circuitry in order to decrease seizure frequency. In the current review, the authors discuss...

Efficacy of vagus nerve stimulation in the treatment of depression.

Expert review of neurotherapeutics

Grimm S, Bajbouj M.
PMID: 20021323
Expert Rev Neurother. 2010 Jan;10(1):87-92. doi: 10.1586/ern.09.138.

Major depressive disorder is a disease with prominent individual, medical and economic impacts. A relevant proportion of depressive patients suffering from a therapy-resistant course are increasingly being treated with antidepressant brain stimulation techniques. One of these interventions is the...

Nonpharmacologic care for patients with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome: ketogenic diets and vagus nerve stimulation.

Epilepsia

Kossoff EH, Shields WD.
PMID: 25284035
Epilepsia. 2014 Sep;55:29-33. doi: 10.1111/epi.12546.

Individuals with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) often do not respond to or become resistant to pharmacologic treatments. Ketogenic diets (KDs) and vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) are nonpharmacologic treatment options for these intractable patients. The classic KD, a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet...

Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Epilepsy: An Evidence-Based Approach.

Progress in neurological surgery

Cukiert A.
PMID: 26393531
Prog Neurol Surg. 2015;29:39-52. doi: 10.1159/000434654. Epub 2015 Sep 04.

Medical treatment of seizures yields a satisfactory response in 75-80% of the patients; resective epilepsy surgery is a therapeutic option for those patients who are refractory to drug therapy, but there is still a considerable portion (20-30%) of patients...

Vagal Nerve Stimulation for Treatment-Resistant Depression.

Neurotherapeutics : the journal of the American Society for Experimental NeuroTherapeutics

Carreno FR, Frazer A.

Neurotherapeutics. 2017 Jul;14(3):716-727. doi: 10.1007/s13311-017-0537-8.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is prevalent. Although standards antidepressants are more effective than placebo, up to 35% of patients do not respond to 4 or more conventional treatments and are considered to have treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Considerable effort has...
