VNS Algorithm for Advanced Dosing
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the standard programming of the VNS device (Control) to a modified programming (Augusta Way) in adults with epilepsy. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the modified programming of the VNS reduce seizures faster than the standard programming? Participants in both groups will: 1. Attend up to 3 study visits every 3 months for 2 years 2. Answer questionnaires to assess quality of life and cognitive function 3. Maintain a diary of seizure activity
Summary from the official registry record.
Who can take part
- Subjects who are clinically determined to be candidates for VNS implantation for seizure control
- Subject/legally authorized representative able to provide informed consent.

This study looks at an EEG brain test (with light flashing and breathing tasks) to predict whether vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) will help control seizures in adults with drug-resistant epilepsy. It may help doctors choose the best people for VNS and better plan treatment.
This trial studies how well and how efficiently VNS therapy works for people with long-lasting or repeated major depression that hasn’t responded to enough antidepressant treatments. It may help patients who are already receiving depression treatment but are still struggling.
This study tests a new way to listen to the vagus nerve in awake people. It may help understand how the nerve controls body functions like heart rate and digestion.
This trial studies whether a vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) device can reduce symptoms of treatment-resistant depression. Participants either receive the VNS treatment or a no-stimulation control, to compare safety and effectiveness.
This trial tests whether pairing vagus nerve stimulation with rehabilitation exercises can improve movement and daily function in people with long-term motor problems after a severe traumatic brain injury.
This trial tests if blue light exposure can improve the effects of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) in people with epilepsy that is hard to control. It also includes some healthy volunteers for comparison. The goal is to find new ways to make VNS work better.
