Comment:
I am a Psychiatrist and I have about 10 patients
implanted with VNS at this point. Every one of
them suffered with resistant depression and
pains of various sorts. Absolutely every one of
my implanted patiens is depression symptom free
(after yeas of failing medications)and reports
improvement in pain.
Dramatic results with VNS may be compaired only
to ECT.
VNS exceeded my expectations.
