Vagus nerve stimulation (#VNS),  responsive neurostimulation (#RNS), and deep brain stimulation of the anterior nucleus of the thalamus (#DBS-ANT) are the major #neuromodulation therapy techniques for drug-resistant epilepsy patients. Check out this #review by Simpson et al. (Jun. 2022) for a practical summary of modality selection, patient selection, #programming, and #outpatient management for these neuromodulation techniques.
